At Last, Buhari's Wife Sues Noisemaker Gov. Fayose Over Halliburton Scandal

At Last, Buhari's Wife Sues Noisemaker Gov. Fayose Over Halliburton Scandal

At Last, Buhari's Wife Sues Noisemaker Gov. Fayose Over  Halliburton Scandal
More trouble has beclouded the whistleblower governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose as the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, has sued him for alleging that she was one of those indicted for involvement in the Halliburton multi-million dollar scandal, Punch Newspaper reports this morning

Earlier, Aisha Buhari 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.

Bother Nuhu Ribadu and Ibrahim Lamorde, two former Chairmen of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, had also declared that Aisha was not one of the Nigerian 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.

When our correspondent contacted Fayose’s lawyer, Mr. Mike Ozekhome (SAN), on Wednesday night to confirm whether his client had been served the summons or not, his telephone number had been switched off.

Fayose GOOFED, Aisha in Jefferson’s Bribery Scandal Not Buhari’s Wife – Lamorde, Ex-EFCC Boss

Fayose GOOFED, Aisha in Jefferson’s Bribery Scandal Not Buhari’s Wife – Lamorde, Ex-EFCC Boss

The embattled Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose may have goofed as a former ant-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission boss, Ibrahim Lamorde has said the Aisha Buhari mention in the bribery scandal involving a United States of America Congressman, Williams Jefferson, is not President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife.

The issue came to the fore again on Monday after the EFCC froze the private account of the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, over investigation being conducted into the funding of the 2014 governorship campaign in Ekiti State.

Fayose had after leaving the bank accused the EFCC and President Buhari of witch hunting.

He said Buhari himself was not a saint and alluded to the Jefferson scandal.

He equally accused Buhari, in a statement issued later, of having an estate in Abuja.

The Aisha Buhari in the Jefferson scandal was said to have aided the transfer of $170,000 to Jefferson.

But Lamorde, in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday, said as one of those involved in the case when he was in the EFCC, he could authoritatively confirm that the Aisha was not Buhari’s wife.

He told PREMIUM TIMES: “I can tell you authoritatively that the Aisha Buhari named in that case is not President Buhari’s wife.
“It is another Aisha Buhari entirely.

“I was the Director of Operations at the EFCC at the time so I know about the case very well.

“I can tell you that it is not her (President Buhari’s wife).

“That much we established.”

The Aisha Buhari was mentioned on Page 22 of the court document on the website of the United States Department of Justice on the issue.
