The wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, has sued the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, for alleging that she was one of those indicted for involvement in the Halliburton multi-million dollar scandal.
The President’s wife had on many occasions denied involvement in the scam with a threat to sue Fayose if he did not stop dragging her into a fraud she knew nothing about.
A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Lamorde, had also declared that Aisha was not one of Nigerians mentioned in the scam or indicted for the scandal.
The EFCC investigated the scam during Lamorde’s tenure as the anti-graft boss.
But in spite of these, Fayose had insisted that the President’s wife was involved in the fraud in which Nigeria lost huge sums of money, alleging that the Federal Government’s anti-corruption war was selective and politically-motivated.
The governor claimed that Aisha Buhari was named in a document that stated she was one of those indicted in the celebrated scandal.
However, a Nigerian online medium, Premium Times reported on Wednesday night that Mrs. Buhari had dragged Fayose to court for maligning her name.
Premium Times stated that it had exclusively obtained the court summons, dated July 20, 2016, that Aisha filed against the governor. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteVery episodic indeed!
ReplyDeleteBetter way to do it, instead of resorting to newspaper quarrels.
ReplyDeletePlease let us not compare the issue of Remi Tinubu with that of Aisha Buhari. We should let Fayose proof his allegation in the law court with the exits for Nigerians to know the truth.
ReplyDeleteI tell you APC and his so called government has nothing to offer Nigerians, what a pity, you peoples' time is running out soon or soonest, what a waste of time for those that voted for these people when Nigeria and the people of Nigerians are in Precarious situation, God will deliver Nigeria from this people hands, I weep for my country Nigeria!
