Aisha Buhari says she will not remarry
Former First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari, has said she will not remarry, stating clearly that one husband is enough for her. She made the remark while speaking on issues relating to marriage, widowhood, and personal choice, drawing public attention due to her status and past role in national life.
Aisha Buhari explained that her decision is personal and rooted in conviction rather than pressure or societal expectations. She noted that marriage is a serious commitment and that individuals should be free to decide what is best for them after such an experience. Her statement has resonated with many Nigerians, especially women, who see it as a firm assertion of personal agency.
The former first lady was married to late President Muhammadu Buhari, whose long political career placed her constantly in the public eye. Since his passing, she has largely maintained a private life, appearing occasionally at public events and discussions tied to social issues. Her comment has been interpreted by supporters as a reflection of contentment and self-awareness rather than loss.
Reactions to her statement have been mixed but intense, with many praising her honesty and confidence, while others debated cultural expectations around remarriage. The comment has once again sparked broader conversations about marriage, widowhood, and the right to make personal life choices without public pressure.
