Social media platforms have been set abuzz following the emergence of a viral image suggesting a potential marriage between Nigeria’s former First Lady, Aisha Buhari and the former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Pantami.
The speculation gained momentum over the weekend after a photo, described by some as a wedding invitation or a celebratory graphic, began circulating across WhatsApp groups, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook.
Origin of the Rumour
The image, which carries a photo credit attributed to a social media personality known as Dan Almajirin Rara , depicts both figures in a manner suggesting a formal union. The post has triggered a wave of mixed reactions, with many users questioning the authenticity of the claim while others offer premature congratulations.
No Official Confirmation
Despite the traction the story is gaining online, there has been **no official statement** from the families of Aisha Buhari or Prof. Isa Ali Pantami.
Sources close to both parties have remained silent, and no formal announcement has been made through their verified social media handles or traditional media outlets. Aisha Buhari, who has maintained a relatively low profile since leaving the Presidential Villa in May 2023, has not commented on the development. Similarly, Prof. Pantami, who is currently engaged in academic and religious circles, has not addressed the viral claims.
Digital forensic experts warn that in the era of AI-generated content and sophisticated photo editing, “wedding cards” and photos of high-profile individuals are frequently fabricated to drive traffic or stir political controversy.
In the absence of a “Nikkah” (wedding ceremony) announcement or a statement from a recognized spokesperson, the public is advised to treat the circulating image with caution.
