Images comparing Nigeria’s and Kenya’s first ladies
The lady in the first picture is veteran Yoruba actress Margaret Bandele Olayinka, also known as Iya Gbonkan, not Nigeria’s first lady. The second photo, however, is of Kenya’s First Lady, Rachel Chebet Ruto. She is the wife of William Ruto, Kenya’s fifth and current President.
The image was shared to compare Nigeria’s and Kenya’s first ladies on March 2, 2023, when Kenyans faced off against their Nigerian counterparts in a Twitter battle centered on the West African country’s recent elections.
Aisha Buhari is the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but she will be replaced on May 25 by Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of President-elect Oluremi Tinubu, who will take over from President Muhammadu Buhari.
