No, Aisha Buhari, the widow of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, is not getting married to Isa Pantami (former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy).
This claim stems from a recent online rumor, circulating via fake wedding invitations and photos on social media around early January 2026. However, it has been firmly debunked:
Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to President Buhari, dismissed the rumor, stating there is “absolutely no truth to it” and that it doesn’t even warrant serious debunking.
Multiple Nigerian news outlets and social media discussions confirm the circulating images and invitations are fabricated.
In a December 2025 biography of her late husband, Aisha Buhari explicitly stated she has no plans to remarry, saying “one husband is enough” and describing it as a pragmatic decision.
No credible news sources (including major Nigerian outlets like Punch, Vanguard, Premium Times, or international ones) report any such marriage or engagement. The rumor appears to be baseless misinformation.
