Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, has described some elements around her ailing husband as jackals and hyenas taking advantage of his poor state of health.
President Muhammadu Buhari travelled to London on May 7 to resume medical treatment after an earlier round early this year.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Mrs Buhari took a cue and alluded to some elements around her ailing husband as “the hyenas” and “the jackals,” hoping that they would soon be sent out of “his Kingdom”.
The 46-year-old who is presently in the United Kingdom to see her ailing husband, made the post while responding to a proverbial Facebook post by the senator representing Kaduna Central District, Shehu Sani.
Senator Sani had posted: “Prayer for the absent Lion King has waned; until he’s back then they will fall over each other to be on the front row of the palace temple. Now the hyenas and the jackals are scheming and talking to each other in whispered; still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not…
“It is the wish of the Hyenas and the Jackals that the Lion King never wakes up or come back so that they can be kings. It is the prayers of the weak animals that the Lion King comes back to save the kingdom from the Hyenas, the wolves and other predators”
Responding, Mrs Buhari wrote: “God has answered the prayers of the weaker Animals. The Hyenas and the jackals will soon be sent out of the kingdom. We strongly believe in the prayers and support of the weaker animals”.
Her statement attracted some comments from her followers on Facebook, wishing her husband quick recovery.
Mrs Buhari had returned to the UK last week after an earlier trip on May 30 during which Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, claimed she was not allowed to see the president by an alleged cabal around him.
Upon her return to Nigeria on June 6, the president’s wife said her husband was recovering well and that he expressed appreciation to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and all Nigerians praying for him.
