I see you sir; Seun

Op, why not setup an online petition and forward same to the US Justice Department requesting to see those exhibits (36-87). That way you'll know who to apportion blame. Besides, former VP; Atiku Abubakar was never indicted.

But we don't know the reason why you're still on this fruitless path when some posters - who obviously dwarf you in intellect - have already clarified that the person referred to as 'aisha buhari' is a scammer who is not related to PMB.

[size=13pt]There is some publication that seems to indicate that the said Aisha Buhari was just a scamming impersonator.
As for Atiku Abubakar, the US govt established that the only reason Senator Jefferson did not give him the bribe (of about $100,000) is that he (Mr. Jefferson) could not reach Mr. Atiku before the VP left the States on the very day he was supposed to give him the bribe.

On that count, the jury found Mr. Jefferson not guilty but found him guilty on the other counts.

[size=13pt]I was a bit surprised when I viewed the sentencing of a US senator (William Jefferson) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Jefferson implicated in a bribery scandal in which his agreement to bribe our then vice president became revealed. You can still find the sentencing file hosted on the US Department of Justice's site.

What was really surprising was the citing of exhibits 36-87 revealing wire transfers from a Nigerian account in the name of Aisha Buhari to the account of ANJ Group LLC, identifying the American senator as the beneficiary.

This lends credit to the allegations of missing $2.8billion dollars under Buhari's watch in 1983

It also I believe explains why Buhari found it okay to serve under the Abacha administration and eventually say after Abacha passed away, that "Abacha never stole".

It is his public declaration that Abacha never stole combined with the fact that he served under Abacha that raised serious red flags in my mind about him. Why would anyone (especially one who served under Abacha) make such a declaration? It stands to reason that the only reason he would say that is that he had very strong reasons for which he would want us to believe that statement.
And I make bold to say that those reasons are almost certainly self-protective.

As I write this, it occurs to me that the man (Buhari) does not really respect Nigerians at all. Or else how could he have declared such a feeble lie, expecting anyone to believe it?

Anyway, this is the link to the US Department of Justice-hosted sentencing implicating Aisha Buhari in the Criminal Fraud case of William Jefferson, now serving his term in the US:
