Wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Hajia Aisha Buhari, has directed all her staff to proceed on leave until further notice.
The First Lady had sparked pregnancy rumours after pictures of her returning from Turkey captured her having a protruded tummy.
In an interview with BBC Pidgin, Aisha’s spokesman denied the report.
The announcement of the leave was contained in a statement signed by Dr. Mohammed Kamal, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Office of the First Lady on Health and Development Partners.
According to Kamal, official engagements and work will continue virtually.
