Former President Buhari and his Wife, Aisha Buhari Regret Backing Tinubu, Vow to Work Against Him in 2027

 

Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife, Aisha Buhari, reportedly regret their support for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential elections and are determined to oppose his re-election bid in 2027.

 

This revelation comes from U.S.-based investigative journalist Jackson Ude, who claims the former First Lady and her husband are dissatisfied with the current administration and its treatment of their family.

According to Ude, Aisha Buhari played a key role in swaying her husband to back Tinubu’s presidential ambition. Initially, Buhari was hesitant to support Tinubu. However, Aisha allegedly collected $10 million from Tinubu in exchange for securing Buhari’s endorsement, which ultimately helped solidify Tinubu’s path to the presidency.

 

Despite her efforts, Mrs. Buhari reportedly feels betrayed. She expected key political appointments for her nominees, including her brother, Halilu Ahmed, who was promised the role of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister. These promises have yet to materialize, leaving the former First Lady feeling sidelined and humiliated. Sources close to the Buhari family suggest that repeated attempts by Aisha to meet or speak with President Tinubu have been ignored.

 

Tensions Within the Buhari Household

Aisha Buhari’s dissatisfaction is evident in her decision to remain at her Abuja residence rather than returning to Daura with her husband. She has since returned to Daura quietly, expressing regret over her support for Tinubu. Meanwhile, she awaits the completion of a new home in Kaduna, signaling a potential shift in her political strategy.

 

Her discontent appears to align with Muhammadu Buhari’s reported unease with Tinubu’s administration. Ude alleges that the former president has privately criticized the government and encouraged his loyalists to consider alternative candidates for 2027.

 

A Divided Front in 2023

The Buhari administration was reportedly divided in its support for Tinubu before the 2023 elections. Although initially reluctant, Buhari’s eventual backing of Tinubu was seen as a turning point in the campaign. Insiders believe that Aisha’s influence and alleged financial dealings with Tinubu were decisive factors in this last-minute shift.

 

A Brewing Political Rift

As the 2027 elections draw closer, the Buharis’ opposition to Tinubu could significantly impact the political landscape. Aisha Buhari’s vow to campaign against Tinubu, combined with her husband’s quiet dissent, suggests a growing rift within Nigeria’s political elite.

This development may embolden critics of the Tinubu administration and reshape alliances ahead of the next general election.

 

Neither the Buhari family nor President Tinubu has publicly commented on these allegations. However, if these reports hold true, the former First Family’s discontent could signal a major shake-up in Nigerian politics.
