The first lady of Nigeria Mrs
Aisha Muhammadu Buhari has taken to social media to attack the Ekiti state governor’s claim that she was the same
Ms Aisha Buhari involved in the Halliburton bribery scandal
case which saw United state congress man William j. Jefferson convicted and
sent to jail over bribery allegations.
Read rest of the news after the cut..
Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari
apparently got upset over the wrongful allegation by Ayo Fayose took to her
twitter handle @aishambuhari and in an uncharacteristically manner called
Governor Fayose a mad Dog that isn’t chained. In her words the first lady said “Enough
is Enough Fayose. A mad dog that isn’t chained.
I refuse to keep quiet” Mrs. Aisha wrote on her twitter handle.
Although the Senior Special Assistant
to the president on media and Publicity Malam Garba Shehu hass earlier in a press
release described Fayose’s action as not only childish but laughable noting
that that the presidency has to in a matter of urgency and for the benefit of
Nigerians who needs to know the truth about the Halliburton bribery scandal
that Mrs Aisha Buhari was never the same Aisha Buhari involved in the bribery
scandal and was never the one who initiated the 170,000 Us dollars transfer
from Nigeria to the United States through Congress man William Jefferson some
years back.
According to Garba Shehu , Mrs. Aisha
M. Buhari had no direct, indirect or the remotest connection with the scandal. He
challenged Mr Fayose to produce evidence from the records of investigation and
trial of Mr. Jefferson where the first lady was mentioned and in any way linked
to the scandal. He said the presidency chose to respond for the sake of
innocent Nigerians who might be misled by Fayose’s shameless and blatant
distortion of facts and so he will not be ignored to on the baseless allegation.
In a related development former Chairman
of the Economic and Financial commission EFCC Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde said the
first lady Mrs Aisha Muhammadu Buhari is not the same Aisha Buhari involved in
the Bribery case of Haliburton involving Mr. Jefferson. Lamorde said he was the
director of operations as at the time of the investigation and he worked
closely with the American law agencies and department of justice on the case
and he was certain and sure that the fingered aisha Buhari is not Mrs Aisha
Buhari wife of president Muhammadu Buhari. He therefore urged Mr Ayo Fayose to
get his facts right and stop pointing accusing fingers at the first lady Mrs
Aisha Buhari.
