Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, is believed to be pregnant following new photos of her with a ‘baby bump’ that emerged on social media.
President Buhari and Aisha returned to Nigeria on Sunday after attending the three-day Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit in Istanbul.
New photos of the First Lady at the airport have sparked pregnancy rumour across the country, with Nigerians wondering if she is actually expecting a baby.
In one of the photos, Aisha was seen wearing a yellow lace kaftan and a black shawl draped over what appeared like a baby bump and the 50-year-old first lady tenderly placed her right hand on it.
Another image showed the first couple seated in a plane. A zoom-in on Mrs Buhari shows a full face like that of a pregnant woman, different from her usual robust youthful visage.
A third picture showed Aisha and the 79-year-old president on the plane’s stairs, with an apparent baby bump as the first lady gently stepped down the flight of stairs.
The photos have sparked a lot of reactions on social media with many Nigerians are asking if the First Lady is “pregnant” as the Presidency is yet to confirm or deny the reports.
