Investigations by Breaking Times on Monday revealed that Aisha Buhari,
wife of the President of Nigeria wore a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat
White Gold Diamond Ladies Watch that cost £34,500 to President Buhari’s
inauguration on Friday, May 29. The equivalent of this at the current
CBN foreign exchange rate of N303 to £1 is N10, 453, 000...see photo of
the 10million naira wrist watch after the break:
The Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat White Gold Diamond Ladies Watch
comes in a case made of rhodiumised white gold set with brilliant-cut
diamonds. On the side of the case is an octagonal crown set with a
diamond. The case is 44mm high, 35mm wide and 10mm thick and is covered
by glare-proof sapphire crystal glass.
President Muhammadu Buhari was elected riding on the wave of strong
anti-corruption, integrity and pro-masses sentiment. This shocking
extravagance by Mrs. Buhari runs contrary to earlier indications that
the Buharis are modest and the President, a pastoral farmer with 150
cows, barely raised the money to pay for his presidential nomination
form.
