You must have seen the trending picture — Aisha Buhari, wife
of the president, showing off her tattoo and the 4+4 hand sign
canvassing another four years for her husband in office. In one of
the pictures are four persons all in the “4+4” mood with their
hands raised and smiles etched on their faces.
This was at the inauguration of Women and Youth for 2019
Presidential Campaign Team at the state house, Abuja, on
Thursday.
It all seemed like a jolly good game, at least for those in
Buhari’s corner, until the picture started trending on social
media.
The message was that one of the women in the picture was Amina
Zakari, the commissioner of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) who is currently at the centre of a controversy
over her relationship with Buhari.
It is alleged that she is a niece of the president and her
appointment as the chairman of the collation centre committee for
the presidential election is an indication that INEC wants to rig
the election in favour of Buhari.
IS IT AMINA ZAKARI OR SOMEONE ELSE?

Sani, PhD. PHOTO: SUNDAY AGHAEZE
Without much ado, the person in the picture is Hajo Sani, PhD,
senior special assistant to the wife of the president on
administration.
Sani is an educationist, author and policy analyst and was a
minister of state for women affairs and social development
from 1997 to 1998. She would later set up the Women and National
Development (WAND), an NGO promoting education of the
girl-child.
She was elected secretary-general of the West African Women
Association (WAWA) in 2003. She joined the Society for Family
Health (SFH) in 2003, the largest NGO focusing on public health
issues in Nigeria since 2003.
This is not the first time she is getting sucked into negative
news — her son took to Instagram a year ago to display exotic cars,
and this was an item of internet storm for a while.
Sani is an ardent campaigner for Buhari’s re-election and
currently supports the Dr. Hajo Sani Youth Network for Buhari
Continuity.
Spot the difference: Sani and Zakari
