Wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari
The wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, is seeking a total lockdown of the country amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Aisha Buhari revealed this in a tweet on Monday, where she commended the state governors for closing down schools.
She said, “It is commendable that state governors have closed down schools.
“However, this could be counterproductive if parents are still going to work.
“We should not isolate students and expose their parents.
“Let us remember that they will meet at home”.
