A video of governors’ wives presenting a birthday cake to first lady Aisha Buhari in Dubai, UAE last month has gone viral on social media.
Mrs Buhari, who was born on February 17, 1951 in Adamawa State, clocked 51.
Bisi Fayemi, wife of Ekiti State governor, led the other women in the visit. She is seen holding the cake in the video.
Reactions have begun trailing the incident on Twitter:
