President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha, has said that the aircraft that brought her and other co-travellers from the United Arab Emirates where she said she had gone for medical help, encountered some violent turbulence in the air on their way back to Nigeria.
The first lady however said that the level of professionalism of the captain and his team as well as the good maintenance of the aircraft helped in navigating the turbulence safely.
Sahara Reporters had earlier reported that the First Lady, her daughter and other crew members escaped air crash on their way back to Nigeria from Dubai on Friday.
The first lady in a picture with crew members posted on her official Twitter handle, @aishambuhari, on Saturday, said the Nigerian Air force flight encountered violent air turbulence.
She said in a series of tweets : “I want to use this opportunity to thank all Nigerians for their prayers and well wishes while I was away for medical treatment . I am well now and fully recovered and have since returned back home, Nigeria.

“I want to commend and appreciate the courage and professionalism of the Captain and his crew, the wonderful gallant service men and women of the entire Nigerian Airforce for their dedication to duty and the quality of maintenance of its Fleet.
“I recall hosting the private healthcare Providers earlier in the year and we had a very productive engagement where the issue of building the capacity of Nigeria health sector was the major focus, and funding was discovered to be the major challenge.
“I therefore call on the healthcare providers to take the advantage of the Federal Government’s initiative through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) guidelines for the operation of NGN100 Billion Credit Support for the Healthcare Sector as was released recently contained in a circular dated March 25, 2020 to the Commercial Banks. This will no doubt help in building and expanding the capacity of the Nigerian health sector and ultimately reduce medical trips and tourism outside the Country.
