Farooq Kperogi, a Professor of Journalism and Emerging Media at Kennesaw State University, has made a startling revelation that Aisha Buhari was divorced from the late former President Muhammadu Buhari before his death.
Kperogi shared this assertion on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday, Persecondnews reports.
He further stated that Aisha had reportedly reverted to her maiden name, Halilu, dropping “Buhari” as her surname.
Adding to his claims, Kperogi alleged that Aisha was reluctant to travel to the United Kingdom to care for Buhari when he became ill, reportedly due to their estranged marital status.
Kperogi was reacting to quotes attributed to Aisha, which claimed Buhari had asked her to seek forgiveness from Nigerians on his behalf.
Although Kperogi said he could not confirm the authenticity of the quotes, he maintained that the couple were no longer married.
He wrote: “They had divorced, and Aisha reverted to her maiden name, Aisha Halilu. If you paid close attention, you would notice that Aisha didn’t go to Daura when he retired to the town after leaving office.
“Buhari was also alone when he later relocated to Kaduna. In fact, when he fell ill and it was suggested that Aisha travel to London to care for him, she reportedly hesitated because she was no longer his wife.
