In a graceful return to private life, Nigeria’s Former First Lady, Hajiya A’isha Muhammadu Buhari, has officially relocated with her family to the Kaduna residence of her late husband, former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The former First Lady’s arrival in the historic city was met with warmth and reverence, as a high-powered delegation led by the Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe, welcomed her with traditional courtesies and heartfelt tributes.
The move marks a new chapter for the Buhari family following the passing of the elder statesman earlier this year. The late President’s Kaduna home, known for its simplicity and cultural significance, will now serve as the family’s permanent residence.
Deputy Governor Balarabe, while addressing the press shortly after the courtesy visit, described A’isha Buhari’s presence in Kaduna as “a homecoming that brings both honor and pride to the state.”
“She is not only the former First Lady of Nigeria but a symbol of resilience, compassion, and dignity. We are deeply honoured to have her among us,” Balarabe stated.
Residents and well-wishers have since flooded social media with messages of support, expressing admiration for A’isha Buhari’s continued grace and strength as she settles into her new home.
Kaduna State Government officials hinted at possible future collaborations with the former First Lady in areas such as maternal health, girl-child education, and women empowerment — key causes she championed during her time in office.
The quiet but symbolic relocation has once again placed Kaduna in the national spotlight, as it becomes the new hub for the legacy of one of Nigeria’s most influential political families.
