EXCLUSIVE: Aisha Buhari writes Fayose, spits fire
The Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari on Wednesday demanded a full retraction of a widely-circulated material distributed by Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, in which he claimed to have uncovered how Mrs. Buhari was allegedly mentioned as having transferred funds to a convicted former U.S. lawmaker, Williams Jefferson.
In a warning letter dispatched through her legal representatives, Mrs. Buhari said Mr. Fayose's action was directly responsible for the publication of the "very wild and unfounded" allegations in the media.
A copy of the letter, sent to Mr. Fayose via courier on Wednesday, was exclusively made available to PREMIUM TIMES.
Through the letter, titled: "Demand for unqualified retraction of the false statement published by you in various media on the 20th of June, 2016, and subsequent dates regarding our client, Her Excellency, Mrs. Aisha Buhari the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR," the president's wife gave Mr. Fayose five working days to retract the statement or face legal action.
"Our client has referred to us statement made by you and published on the 20th of June, 2016 (and other subsequent days) concerning and pertaining to her person for necessary action.
"The said statement which was caused by you and your agents to be widely circulated and published in various media platforms: print, electronic and online such as PREMIUM TIMES
www.premiumtimesng.com on 20th of June, 2016, contains very wild, unfounded and false allegations and imputations against the person of our client.
"Specifically, in the said statement credited to you and signed by your Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, you, inter alia, false stated as follows:
""Even the president cannot claim to be an angel. The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was indicted over the Halliburton Scandal (sic). When that American, Jeferson, 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 serialise the judgement for people to see and read," Ismaila Alasa and Mary Ekpene, who signed the letter on behalf of the law firm, said.
"Take notice that unless you and your agents meet our humble demands within 5 (five) working days of the receipt of this letter, we shall take all necessary steps within the contemplation of the law to seek redress for our client."
Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, could not immediately confirm or deny if Mary Ekpere & Co. is indeed the solicitors to Mr. Buhari.
Mr. Fayose had on Monday evening distributed a statement which contained excerpts of court documents sourced from the United States Department of Justice Website.
In the statement, Mr. Fayose said Mrs. Buhari was an accomplice in the bribery scandal that landed Mr. Jefferson in jail, saying he added the link as a proof.
Although an Aisha Buhari was mentioned in the case files, those who investigated the matter have, however, said that Aisha Buhari is an impostor and not the wife of Mr. Buhari.
Two former chairman of Nigeria's anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, have come out within the past two days say Mrs. Buhari had no connection with the Jefferson bribery scandal.
In separate interviews with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, Ibrahim Lamorde, the immediate past chairman of the EFCC, and Nuhu Ribadu, the pioneer head of the agency, said they carried out extensive investigation into the case during their respective tenures and established that the woman named in the scandal was an impostor of the president's wife.
Mr. Buhari himself had in the past stated, categorically, that he had no connection with the Aisha Buhari in the Jefferson scandal, who is also said to be based in the United States.

Yea right!! But there is no formal denial from the Buharis except to threaten fire and brimstone. Mrs Buhari should first tell us what she knows. There are two sides for every story. What governor Fayose stated was what was published. And anybody is free to reference the publication. The onus is on Mrs Buhari to prove beyond doubts that she has no hands in the fraud. Yelling and screaming at innocent governor is as idiotic as everything about Buhari and his family. She should go to the US to sue the original publisher if she is innocent as she now wants us to believe.
By the way, who is paying all the lawyers now cashing in on the endless Buhari intrigues? Already 10 lawyers were hired by Buhari to shush Nigerians and cover up his certificate forgery, and his wife hired even more to chase innocent man for stating what was published since 2014? That did not include billions of oil money Buhari moved to Britain for his 13 days vacation.
Haaa, ha! Nigerians are finished. Unless voters pick up the gauntlet to remove Buhari from office now, the worst is on the way. Buhari's family now have access to public treasury in Abuja and they are scooping the oil money away in all directions, precisely what he did in his first coup in in 1983. What a shame.
