Investigations by Breaking Times said that the wife of the Nigerian President appeared on the official portrait with a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat white gold and diamond ladies watch that cost £34,500.
According to the CBN foreign exchange rate as at that time the wristwatch costs N10, 453, 000 (Ten Million, Four Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand Naira).
Below are some of the times, she showed that she could clearly afford the best of the best, recession or not:
1. Presidential Inauguration, May 29, 2015
As stated above, this was the first time Nigerians understood, that she loved the wealthy life, as she flaunted a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat white gold and diamond ladies.Nigerians cried out with many claiming the watch cost more than N10 million. The outrage that ensued was mainly because their were earlier indications that the Buharis were a modest family. Especially after the President said he was a pastoral farmer with 150 cows, and that he had barely raised the money to pay for his presidential nomination form.
So a £34,500 Cartier watch was the last thing Nigerians were expecting, even at the exchange rate of N303 to £1 in 2015.
