AISHA BUHARI, DIVORCE, AND FORGIVENESS CLAIM By Farooq Kperogi  People have been circulating a quote attributed to Aisha Buhari, claiming that Buhari asked her to seek forgiveness from Nigerians on his behalf.  I can’t confirm the authenticity of that claim, but what I do know is that before Buhari’s death, he and Aisha were no longer married.  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.

Even now, during this period of mourning, she seems understandably conflicted about her role.  So, I'm genuinely curious to know...
