Former minister of aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has welcomed First Lady Aisha Buhari back to the country following her reported trip to the United Arab Emirates to treat neck pain.

Mr Fani-Kayode said on Twitter on Thursday night that Mrs Buhari is the light of Aso Villa and prayed that she would be fine.

The ex-minister also said he has always been a fan of the first lady and was not considering leaving the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

“Welcome back home to our amiable First Lady @aishambuhari. I repeat, you are the light of the Villa. You are unstoppable and God is with you. Stand strong!” he wrote.

“To those who believe that this means I am going to @OfficialAPCNg I say get a life and stop letting your imagination run wild. It means nothing of the sort. I have always been a fan of @aishambuhari even though I AM THE RESISTANCE & I am opposed to her husband’s Government.

“Our First Lady came back home safely & soundly & in good health after going to Dubai & some say we shouldn’t wish her well & thank God for sparing her life & bringing her back safely simply because are in the opposition? Some people can be so petty & wicked! May God help us.”

Qed.ng could not immediately confirm if she was back in Nigeria as her aide Aliyu Abdullah had earlier said he was not aware if she was out of the country or not.

The first lady was reportedly flown out of the country during the Sallah holiday after complaining of neck pain for about two weeks before that time.

The pain is believed to have begun shortly after she returned to Abuja in July from a condolence visit to Florence Ajimobi widow of former Oyo State governor Abiola Ajimobi.
