The face-off between the First Lady, Aisha Buhari and the embattled Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has moved from the exchange of words in the media to court as the First Lady is suing Fayose for alleging that she was implicated in the multi-million dollar Haliburton bribery scandal.
The First Lady had vehement denied any involvement in the issue. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, under Ibrahim Lamorde, had also declared that Aisha Buhari was not one of Nigerians mentioned in the scam or indicted for the scandal.
All these seems not to be convincing to Mr. Fayose who insisted that the First Lady is one of those 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 multi-million dollar scandal.
