A Professor of Journalism and Emerging Media at Kennesaw State University, Farooq Kperogi, has alleged that Aisha was no longer married to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Kperogi made this claim in a post on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday.
According to him, Aisha had dropped Buhari as her surname and reverted to her maiden name, Halilu.
He further alleged that Aisha was reluctant to travel to the United Kingdom to care for Buhari when he became ill.
Kperogi was reacting to quotes attributed to Aisha, which claimed Buhari had asked her to seek forgiveness from Nigerians on his behalf.
Although Kperogi said he could not confirm the authenticity of the quotes, he maintained that the couple were no longer married.
He wrote: “They had divorced, and Aisha reverted to her maiden name, Aisha Halilu. If you paid close attention, you would notice that Aisha didn’t go to Daura when he retired to the town after leaving office.
“Buhari was also alone when he later relocated to Kaduna. In fact, when he fell ill and it was suggested that Aisha travel to London to care for him, she reportedly hesitated because she was no longer his wife.”
