After long awaited time for her to respond which proved abortive, which is a justification on the strength of logic as purported by Gov.Fayose who argued that she ( Buhari's wife) was indeed the culprit behind the Halliburton Scandal.
The scandal which seems to have earlier been laid to rest, after raising so much dust and reactions in the media has now resurrected, having taken a new turn which is the fact that Mrs.Aisha Buhari has filed a lawsuit against the Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose over his alleged claim that she was involved in the corruption scandal.
You would recall that in our earlier publications in the month of June, Gov. Fayose had in a statement he released argued that Buhari's wife and first Lady of the Federal republic was without mincing words, the “Aisha Buhari” named in the Jefferson case of the U.S court document.
The Ekiti state Governor did argue unequivocally that to have been involved in a bribery case involving a former U.S lawmaker, Williams Jefferson is a saint on the Nigerian society.
This allegation raised mixed reactions from the public as some Nigerians argued in the same vein with the Governor while others (especially the APC party-driven) refuted the claim. But in all the allegations, Mrs Buhari kept mute, even when she was challenged by Mr. Fayose to prove her innocence by travelling to the white man's land, she threw deaf ears to it maybe waiting for the right time to reply.
This supposed right time seems to be now, at such time when it appears that all have forgotten about the issue, Mrs. Aisha Buhari has now come up to deny the allegations and even have gone further to file a lawsuit against the Ekiti state Governor.
The suit was filed yesterday 20th of July 2016.However, as at press time, no judge has been assigned to the case at least none that we know and Gov. Ayo Fayose seems to be unperturbed about whatever “storm” will be coming from the suit. But should he be? I suppose not!
He is untouchable premised upon the fact that he enjoys immunity as he is a sitting governor.
