Aisha Buhari remained in the shadows for most of the election
campaign but could now impose a very different style from the current
First Lady at the presidential villa Aso Rock in Abuja.
Little is
known for now about the First Lady elect other than a few details in the
Nigerian media: she is 44, married her 72-year-old husband in 1989
after he divorced his first wife the previous year, and they have five
children together.
"I met Aisha Buhari three times, and she seems
to be a very humble person, very friendly and a good listener," said
lawyer Ebere Ifendu, head of the Women in Politics Forum group in Abuja.
The
current First Lady, Patience Jonathan, wife of the outgoing president
Goodluck Jonathan, has a very different public profile.
