During the AFPTSDC event, initiated by Mrs Lucky Irabor-led Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association, Aisha recounted Buhari’s PTSD illnesses.

Aisha disclosed that Buhari suffered PTSD for many years, due to his involvement in Nigeria’s civil war.

Buhari’s PTSD was also triggered as he reflects on his ousting as military Head of State, and subsequent detention for 40 months without being charged with any offence.

Aisha who recounted how she suffered the consequences of PSTD at an early stage in her marriage to Buhari said she became his physiotherapist.

According to Aisha Buhari: “It is a reality that soldiers and military families have to live with, despite its negative consequences. Being a soldier’s wife or a retired soldier’s wife and a wellness expert, I understand the challenges associated with PTSD and its impact on military families and the nation.

“My husband served the Nigerian Army for 27 years before he was overthrown in a coup d’état. He fought a civil war for 30 months without rehabilitation; he ruled Nigeria for 20 months and was detained for 40 months without disclosing the nature of his offence.

“One year after he came out from detention, we were married, I clocked 19 years in his house as his wife, legitimately. I suffered the consequences of PTSD because having gone through all these, and at the age of 19, to handle somebody who was a former Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces, to tell him that he is wrong is the first mistake you will make.

“So, at the age of 19, I had to figure out how to tell somebody of his calibre that he was wrong or right and that was the beginning of my offence in his house, and contesting elections in 2003 and failed, 2007, failed and 2011, the same thing – all without rehabilitation – I became a physiotherapist.

“You can imagine me at 19 years, handling somebody that went to war, suffered coup d’état, then lost several elections, and, finally, getting to the Villa in 2015. Also, for a woman to tell them that this is wrong or right in Nigeria and Africa is a problem.”
