Weeks after
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state spoke on Aisha
Buhari’s alleged involvement in the Halliburton scandal, the US has
finally made a statement. The US reply to questions on Aisha’s involvement may have now put to
rest the heat that followed the revelation from the governor which
rattled the presidency.
The United States government replied Governor Ayodele Fayose of
Ekiti state declaring that it has no records of crimes against Aisha,
the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari. The country also said the president’s wife is not wanted in the United States.
The Ekiti state governor, on Monday June 20, distributed a link to the
US Department of Justice’s website holding court documents where Aisha
Buhari was alleged to have transferred suspicious funds to a convicted
former American congressman, Williams Jefferson. The acting public affairs officer of the US
Consulate General, Lagos, Frank Sellin, said this in an email reply to
inquiries on the true state of Fayose’s allegation. According to the report, Sellin, in reply to questions on how true
Fayose’s allegations are against Aisha and concerning the $185 million
Halliburton scandal, said:
“We have no information to provide on this
matter.”
Fayose had shocked Nigerians and the world when he revealed that Aisha
was wanted in the US.
“Even the president cannot claim to be an angel. The estate he built in
Abuja is known to us.
“His wife was indicted in the Halliburton scandal.
