Aisha Buhari explains why she left Nigeria for two months

Aisha Buhari, the wife of Nigerian president has denied there was any rancour between her and President Muhammadu Buhari, which forced her to stay away from the country for an unusually long period.

Mrs Buhari told the government-owned Nigerian Television Authority shortly after she returned to Abuja around 5 am on Sunday morning that she was in the United Kingdom to be with her children.

She said she also saw her doctors while she was there, adding that she has always travelled out for vacation for six weeks every year. This, she said, was nothing unusual.

Mrs Buhari arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja via a British Airways flight.
