There were concerns over her absence  but the presidency avoided making comments on the issue.

However, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity (Office of the First Lady), Aliyu Abdullahi in an interview last year December refused to disclose her whereabouts weeks after reports that she had relocated out of the presidential villa to Dubai for safety concerns.

Rather than respond to the question he was asked during his appearance on a monitored Channels Television programm he told the anchor (Kayode Okikiolu) that he was not invited to the show to discuss the privacy of the first lady.

“I am sorry, Kayode, this is not part of what I was actually invited here to discuss in your studio.
“I will not be speaking on that because it is not part of what we agreed for me to come and discuss. So, let us leave that issue out of the interview please,” Abdullahi said.

Meanwhile, another aide to the First Lady, Kabiru Dodo in Jalingo, Taraba State capital same December 2020 while presenting some items to widows on behalf of the president’s wife, faulted the report that the first lady left the country because of rising insecurity.
