Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Monday revived a controversy
surrounding the role played by Aisha, President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, in the
messy bribery scandal involving U.S. Congressman, Williams Jefferson.
Mr. Fayose distributed a link to the U.S. Department of
Justice Web site holding court documents where Mrs. Buhari was alleged to have
transferred suspicious funds to a convicted former American congressman,
Williams Jefferson.
Fayose claims that Buhari is as corrupt as those he is
witch-hunting.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu
Adelusi, Fayose said President Buhari was far
from being a clean man.
“Even the President cannot claim to be an angel,” the
governor said, in reaction to the freezing of his Zenith Bank account by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
“The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was
indicted over the Halliburton Scandal (sic). When that American, Jefferson, was
being sentenced, the President’s wife was mentioned as having wired $170,000 to
Jefferson.
Her name was on page 25 of the sentencing of Jefferson. We
can serialize the judgment for people to see and read,” he said.
The governor’s Special Assistant on New Media, Lere
Olayinka, later circulated links to and copies of the court document detailing
Mrs Buhari’s mention in the scandal
