Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has said that he stands by his claim on Mrs Aisha Buhari.
This came in reaction to a statement in the media on Wednesday, in which the American government was said to have said they had no information to provide on the president’s wife.
A statement by the government, on Wednesday, quoted the counsel for Governor Fayose, Chief Mike Ozekhome, to have “replied the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, through her counsel, Mary Ekpere & Co, justifying the governor’s claim that Aisha Buhari, was indeed, mentioned in the Halliburton scandal.”
The government statement said: “In the letter on July 8, 2016, Ozekhome affirmed that the statement made regarding the involvement of Aisha Buhari in the Halliburton scandal was “correct and justified in law, having regards to a court judgment convicting one Mr William Jefferson for bribery in the Halliburton case.”
