The same nonsense that that did during the campaign. Most PDP supporters are foools. I have no apology to anyone for that statement. PDP likes it or not,APC is here to stay & for a very long time. Foolish Tanoids upgrading their stupidity internationally

Photos of Nigeria's first lady wearing an expensive watch led some Nigerians to ask whether they undermine President Buhari's "man of the people" image.

In March, Muhammadu Buhari was elected as Nigeria's new president after a campaign which took a strong anti-corruption stance. Buhari underlined his humble credentials by raising money from ordinary voters. He even had to stretch his finances to pay the fee to register as a candidate.

This image was diluted somewhat when his wife, Aisha Buhari, was pictured wearing an expensive-looking watch at her husband's inauguration last week and these images were shared on the Instagram account of the photographer George Okoro.

Nigerian press described it as a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-carat white gold diamond timepiece that was estimated to cost around $50,000 - more than £30,000 or about 10m Nigerian naira. Others, however, pointed out that knockoff versions are available for as little as $100.

Aisha Buhari's watch - the real version at least - retails for tens of thousands online

Around 3,000 tweets mentioning the first lady's name and the word "watch" have been posted. Many were critical and raised a sceptical eyebrow about where Mrs Buhari might have got the money to buy such an expensive piece of jewellery. "Aisha Buhari will be wearing a N10million watch and her husband told us he borrowed money to buy his presidential nomination form," said Twitter user Kate Vincent.

But others defended her: "Aisha Buhari didn't use Nigeria's money to buy her watch so what exactly is the problem? Am i missing something? Why is it a big deal?" tweeted @SalaudeenNana.

If she didn't not use Nigeria's money then some asking or that will be needing a favour from the husband just have given her the watch asm a gift, she may have compromised her integrity stand by accepting that kind of expensive gift, these people are not so clean, you can remember what the brother did at PTF while working for Buhari then.

He didn't fool nobody. Nigerians wanted a change, anybody and anything other than Jonathan. And their next Available strong alternative was Buhari, period.
Even you, oremussanctus would still have won against Goodluck. Anybody under a strong party, especially APC, the strongest next big party would win jona. He was doomed to loose.

Government needs to seriously deal with unemployment crisis. If most of our youths were gainfully employed we would not be seeing some of these foolish posts.
The woman wore her wrist watch, is it the real version? Was it a gift? Did she buy it with her money? You don't know, yet you are here making noise. If she did not wear any wristwatch you will be the same people to complain.
Jobless peeps... she for kuku pose unclad (wear nothing) in the portrait so that you won't have anything to say. ..

True, but what's stopping her from making a statement about it? It might be trivial to expect an account of her personal belongings, but since PMB's integrity is being questioned, a statement should be made. And it is better to come clean now than to be blind-sided in an interview, because the next person to interview her will definitely ask her how she came about a 10 mil watch.

PDP should go and learn how to play opposition from APC. The same pull him down strategy they used during election and lost at the end of the day. If Aisha like, let her wear $20m watch, it is not Nigerian's money. After all, the husband was just sworn in, no access to the treasury yet.

Aisha Buhari is a hard working lady. Aisha is not a treasury looter and not flashy . She doesn't has to dress like a pauper to represent Nigeria. She doesn't asked anybody to be stoned to death because of power and filthy lucres.
We love you Aisha. Your Excellency.
Up Nigeria. The African Giant.

Even if it is a gift, Buhari has a cult following for reasons that are in total contrast to this.

Buhari has to keep his wife inside her beauty spa, and keep his kids in their schools or husband's house.

Buhari has proved impenetrable, his family now stands as his weak point, the enemy will not stop to rest. They will keep giving him hell, hopefully he will remain focused.

It's the young Obama administration versus the Tea Party all over again.
The only sensible comment so far.

The rate of poverty in this country ehn....I will still say it the watch migjt be a gift. Even if she bought it,she does with her hard earned money and not Nigerian loot.
"I am not in power and I have an independent wife who works very hard to get her own money“ how is it my business if she tries to buy for herself a #56,000 000 slippers..
Like fashola said the “Apc needs a strong opposition and it is ready to sponsor and nuture the pdp on how to do it even to the p.hd level“.not all these"atamatmo criticising“
