According to the former Vice President, both families are currently in Saudi Arabia to perform the lesser hajj (Umrah). The Umrah pilgrimage is often undertaken by Muslims for spiritual reflection and prayers, especially during moments of personal loss. “I was honoured to host Hajiya Aisha Buhari, wife of former President Muhammadu Buhari, her daughter Hanan, and other family members during their visit to me in Saudi Arabia,” Atiku wrote.
