Nigeria’s First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, made allegorical statement today alluding to what will soon happen to those who don’t wish her ailing husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, well.
Apparently responding to a cryptic Facebook post by Senator Shehu Sani on her husband’s health and the state of the nation, Mrs Buhari reportedly said, “The hyenas and the jackals will soon be ejected from the kingdom.”
She dropped a hint on her Facebook page that God has answered Nigerians praying for the recovery of her ailing husband.
Mrs. Buhari is currently in London with her husband.
Yesterday, she posted a picture of President Buhari receiving the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr Kayode Fayemi and wife in London, with the caption: “We love you my dearest husband. Get well soon.”
Senator Sani, who is representing Kaduna Central, kindled the fire with his post today.
He made a veiled reference in his post to alleged power play in government circles in Buhari’s absence.
Sani had stated that while ‘weaker animals’ were praying for the return of ‘Lion King,’ those he called ‘the hyenas’ and ‘the jackals’ are scheming, based on the assumption that the ‘Lion King’ will never return.
The Senator wrote: “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 whispers; still doubting whether the Lion King will be back or not.
“Now, the Lion king is asleep and no other dare to confirm if he will wake up or not.
“It is the wish of the hyenas that the Lion King never wakes or come back, so that they can be kings.
“It is the prayers of the weaker animals that the Lion King comes back to save the kingdom from the hyenas, the wolves and other predators.”
But Buhari’s wife said the prayers of the ‘weaker animals’ had been answered, and that ‘the hyenas’ and ‘the jackals’ would soon be evicted from ‘the kingdom’.
She 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.
“Long live the weaker animals, long live Nigeria.”
