Aisha Buhari Reveals Why Muhammadu Buhari Believed She Planned to Poison Him
Aisha Buhari, the former First Lady of Nigeria, has revealed that her husband, late President Muhammadu Buhari, believed rumors circulating in Aso Rock that she planned to kill him, leading him to lock his room and change his daily routine. This revelation is contained in a new biography, "From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari", authored by Dr. Charles Omole.
According to Aisha Buhari, her husband's 2017 health crisis was not caused by poisoning or mysterious ailments, but rather by mismanaged meals and disrupted nutrition. She claimed that for about a year, President Buhari did not have lunch regularly, and his supplements were stopped due to the rumors.
The former First Lady also debunked rumors of a presidential body double, attributing the speculation to poor communication in government. She emphasized that her husband's health issues were a result of poor nutrition management, and that proper care and supplements helped him recover.

Aisha Buhari revealed that she ensured her husband's health by overseeing his diet and supplements, which helped him manage his malnutrition issues and stay strong.
“Elderly bodies require gentle, consistent support,” she recalled, adding, “He doesn’t have a chronic illness. Keep him on schedule.”
It read, “According to Aisha Buhari, her husband’s 2017 health crisis did not originate as a mysterious ailment or a covert plot. It started, she says, with the loss of a routine; ‘my nutrition,’ she describes it, a pattern of meals and supplements she had long overseen in Kaduna before they moved into Aso Villa.”
The former First Lady convened a meeting with close staff, including the physician, Suhayb Rafindadi; the CSO, Bashir Abubakar; the housekeeper, and the SSS DG to explain the plan.
She said, “Daily, cups and bowls with tailored vitamin powders and oils, a touch of protein here, a change to cereals there.”
“When the Presidency’s machinery took over our private lives, she explained the plan: daily, at specific hours, cups and bowls with tailored vitamin powders and oil, a touch of protein here, a change to cereals there. Elderly bodies require gentle, consistent support,” Omole narrated.
However, the routine frayed.
“Then came the gossip and the fearmongering. They said I wanted to kill him,” the book quotes her as saying.
“My husband believed them for a week or so,” she said, revealing that the President began locking his room, changed small habits, and crucially, “meals were delayed or missed; the supplements were stopped.”
