Investigations by Breaking Times have revealed that Nigeria's First Lady wore a Cartier Baignoire Folle 18-Carat White Gold Diamond Ladies Watch that cost £34,500 ( www.thewatchgallery.com) to her husband's inauguration.
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.
According to them, 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.
