Aisha Buhari, the First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari has revealed how President Muhammadu Buhari battled post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from civil war experience.

She added that the President also suffered detention and several electoral failures to become the country’s democratic ruler.

The Nigerian First Lady revealed this on Tuesday during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Armed Forces Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Centre (AFPTSDC).

She said;

“One year after he came out from detention, we were married. I clocked 19 years in his house as his wife, legitimately.

“I suffered the consequences of PTSD because having gone through all these, and at the age of 19, to handle somebody who was a former head of state and commander-in-chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces, to tell him that he is wrong is the first mistake you will make.

“This centre is timely, as PTSD is a problem that really deserves a solution of this nature, and providing facilities for treatment and rehabilitation of patients is key.

“Therefore, fundraising is not the solution. The solution is for the federal government that sent them to the war front to take responsibility for taking care of the mental health of returnees from the war front. PTSD cuts across all ages.”

PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

“My husband served the Nigerian Army for 27 years before he was overthrown in a coup d’état. He fought the civil war for 30 months without rehabilitation; he ruled Nigeria for 20 months and was detained for 40 months without disclosing the nature of his offence.

“You can imagine myself at 19 years, handling somebody that went to war, suffered (a) coup d’état, then lost several elections,and, finally, getting to the Villa in 2015.”

The First Lady equally commended DEPOWA’s ” foresighted vision” of establishing the PTSD centre for our soldiers.”

“It is a reality that soldiers and military families have to live with, despite its negative consequences. Being a soldier’s wife or a retired soldier’s wife and a wellness expert, I understand the challenges associated with PTSD and its impact on military families and the nation.

“So, at the age of 19, I had to figure out how to tell somebody of his calibre that he was wrong or right, and that was the beginning of my offence in his house, and contesting elections in 2003 and failed, 2007, failed and 2011, the same thing – all without rehabilitation – I became a physiotherapist,

“The fallen heroes remain evergreen in our minds, and many with us are wounded physically and mentally. I want to appreciate their wives and families. I want to let them know that the whole nation is with them.”

Mr Buhari had on several occasions, recalled his role during the Nigerian civil war.

In recent times, the President narrated how he and his colleagues in the Nigerian Army killed hundreds of thousands of Nigerians on the Biafran side during the war.
