The Presidency has dismissed as laughable the desperate attempt by Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State to link President Buhari’s wife, Aisha, to US Congressman William Jefferson’s bribery scandal for which the American lawmaker was convicted in 2009.
Reacting to Mr. Fayose’s allegations in a press statement, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said ordinarily the presidency would have ignored Fayose because he was a man “childishly obsessed with the desire to grab the headlines and insulting people at will because of his incurably boorish instincts.”
Mr. Garba explained however that the presidency chose to respond on this occasion for the sake of innocent Nigerians who might be misled by Mr. Fayose’s shameless and blatant distortion of facts.
He said ignoring Mr. Fayose carried the risk of giving traction and credibility to outright and brazen falsehoods inconsistent with the status of anybody that calls himself a Governor or leader.
According to Mr. Shehu, Aisha had no direct, indirect or the remotest connection with William Jefferson’s corruption scandal in the United States.
He challenged Mr. Fayose to tell Nigerians if the so-called Aisha whose pictures he proudly, but ignorantly shared, was the same Aisha married to President Muhammadu Buhari, or if the Aisha of his idle imagination had any relationship by blood or any relationship in whatever form with President Buhari’s wife.
Mr. Shehu also challenged Mr. Fayose to produce evidence from the records of investigation and subsequent trial of Jefferson to prove that Mr. Buhari’s wife Aisha was in anyway linked to that scandal. He explained that common names alone were not enough to automatically link innocent people to crimes or scandals, especially in an era of identity thieves.
He further challenged Mr. Fayose to show proof when and where Aisha Buhari was invited for interrogation in connection with Congressman William Jefferson’s bribery scandal, let alone indicted for a crime locally or abroad.


According to the presidential media aide, free speech does not entitle Governor Fayose to falsely accuse innocent people of crimes they knew nothing about.
He warned Fayose that Aisha Buhari was entitled to protect her reputation from being recklessly maligned, adding that political opposition was not a licence to attack people’s reputation brazenly without legal consequences.

its sad .... APC has set into motion their defeat...
A motion fuelled by the non reward of loyalty...
its obvious that other aspirant including d present deputy governor ... pius odubu... will set modalities in place to work for the pdp why still aligning themselves with APC.. PIUS ODUBU is one man dat oshiomole didnt give him his due as a deputy governor... he virtually made d man powerless and ineffective in his government... he never allowed or consented to the manz wishes or idea... even his local government didnt fill the presence of government despict having their son as a deputy governor....
This obaseki dat is not a grassroot politician can not hold sway when push comes to shove in the presence of pastor ize iyamu

So is it in PDP they will be rewarded? Do u also know how many people wanted to be Deputy Gov @d time he was chosen? If the others have done what u are saying! How would de have won for him to be Deputy Gov for 8years? God gives anything including power. Until everyone know this then we will be struggling thinking it's by power. God has chosen Obaseki for a time like now. There is nothing anyone can do

I may not know about others but the Akwa Ibom man who passed all the outrageous, anti-Akwa Ibom n pro-Akpabio bills into law is capable of doing anything.

Don't play God in this life!
Elder Sam Ikon was rubber stamped speaker for Akpabio who passed all outrageous bills including jumbo pension to Akpabio. He was compensated by HOR ticket n he thinks all is well. Just imagine this kind of embarrassing situation he finds himself.

Old men visiting their fellow sick old man.

Are there no young men in this nation?

What are you still waiting for! Can't you present yourself?

Is it that nobody remembers when Saraki came out to say it was just 13m that was missing?

who ever wrote this! should be given an award as the most unreasonable brain in the world

TippyTop:
Modu Sheriff the Boko Haram sponsor is returning back to APC where he came from.

Did u people just find this out? Ur bosses brought him to fight APC! Now how far?

Mrjo:
Op what do u want to achieve with this post if it is true?

To draw the Biafrans foot soldiers n e-soldiers to some thinking table. Enough of allowing one'self to be used, maimed n killed.

chikel2000:
Of a truth I dnt support or want Biafra but d way d Governor went abt it is wrong

How else would one say the truth?

iamblisz:
Now I know why Igbos call you okoro awusa.

All this things you are doing and saying is because you have ambition to be president. But you of all people should know that igbos can never rule this nation, not now that this country have already been polarized. APC and tinubu will never make the mistake of handing presidential seat to SE or SS. Even an unborn child knows this, the only possible way is through Biafra , the agitation for Biafra has increased resently and the more Igbos feel they are being marginalized the more the agitation.

Nigeria is a time boom ticking

So Tinubu is now God that gives power to people! How shallow minded can a man be more than this?

DonMaxxy:
Look at Kettle calling pot black...

Okoroawusa who has no roots is calling an Igbo prince whose father is a respectable Igbo traditional ruler; 'a man who with no roots'

Okoroawusa who is not even the chairman of SE governors' forum; is claiming to be speaking on their behalf.


Okoroawusa who is the black sheep of the Igbo race is calling on Amadioha who is presently constructing a massive and wicked thunder to strike him in the near future... not to resurrect the struggle...for the enthronement of his own people.

Okoroawusa who claims to be Igbo does not know that Chukwu Okike Abiama is the supreme and almighty creator of the Igbos

You worship Amadioha and no wonder you resemble him...


DISCLAIMER: Okoroawusa is speaking on behalf of himself, his evil and doomed soul. Believe this jester at your own peril.

To u who speaks d truth is evil! Oya conchinwe

The Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has dismissed the current agitation for Biafra, saying that even the Igbo god of thunder, ‘Amadioha’ cannot resurrect the project which is dead and long buried.

While hosting a delegation from the Igbo Elders Forum at the state house in Owerri on Friday, January 15th, Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has rejected the bid for the recreation of the defunct republic of Biafra saying that ‘even the Igbo god of thunder, ‘Amadioha’ cannot resurrect the project which is dead and long buried.’
The governor who dismissed the current agitation for Biafra, told the forum that ‘Biafra has long been dead and not even Amadioha can resurrect it,’ adding that ‘they should be grateful that President Buhari apprehended a criminal and terrorist like Nnamdi Kanu who deserves to be punished for his crimes.’


Governor Okorocha said: “On behalf of all the state governors in the eastern region, we have unanimously agreed with President Buhari not to release that terrorist and troublesome boy who does not know his roots. Nigeria will remain as one and the Igbos will be part of it.”

He warned that very soon many youths will lose their lives unnecessarily in the name of the struggle, reminding the elders that even the former leader of the Biafran republic, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu made it clear that another war of secession was not needed before he died in 2011.

Every criminal will mention PDP what about those terror, gangs, tout, killer squad in APC Pls boys go and face your game and feel the heat of being a criminal. Lazy a r s e holes. Too lazy people always want free money or oil money freely.

Are those appointments and the official Car given by APC? Are they not verifiable? I just wonder what brain u were made up of

[url][/url] sariki naa Rich Guy noo concern youu

What does he do for a living?

chikel2000:
Fayose is still far better than other governors. Ist he said the truth, Ekiti is broke n u knw buhari won't fund him either, telling d truth of a situation is d most noble thing to do. 2ndly he joined d strike, y? Just to make fun of them?, no. H felt dia pain n wish to identify with them. How many governors have stepped that low to identity with its people. Yes things r bad now but trust me fayose's attitude demonstrated good will

It's a pity u r mostly unreasonable

Let Pastor go to church

louqas:
East west road that will open up the region - uncompleted

Coastal railway from Lagos to calabar - not touched (even though he built a railway from kaduna to abuja, after his disciples will be call some people Hausa slaves )

Unep report on ogoni clean up - nothing done or is it because it isn't In ijawland?

No airport in bayelsa his home state even though one of his mistress said she built airports all over Nigeria

What exactly did he do to deserve being called a hero in the Niger delta?

If those avenger are not to creation they should hold him responsible for the underdevelopment of the Niger delta because he had 6 years to turn things around there.

Ur wisdom is legendary!

greatgod2012:
Lies!

APC members and lie is like 5&6.


Ameachi is only saying this just to score some cheap goals.

So y didn't GJ clean Ogoni?

Donariok:
LEAVE GEJ ALONE! BUHARI DID THIS BUHARI DID THAT, HOW IS IT GEJ'S FAULT?
AMAECHI SAID SAME THING TODAY, LEAVE GEJ ALONE, STOP THE BLAME AND FACE THE ISSUE AT HAND!

The same way Martin Luther will be mentioned when ever black struggle is discussed, same way as every subject matter of failure, ur lord n savior GEJ shall be mentioned.!! Just deal with it till the end of time.

Chris Fynbone! I can't stop admiring ur power of opposition, Wike can't buy u over. More power to ur elbow

truthspeaks:
D article says all former political office holders, Op said ex_ministers n senators. Lobatan. By former political office holders, he means arrest Obasanjo, Atiku, Tinubu, even Jonathan n related highly connected politicians . Dis buhari era na comedy walahi

does this make any sense @all?

I thought I have seen it all until I see someone cry n make news for not being allowed to join a trian.
Sometimes, I just wonder what people take as serious things in life. Certainly, it shouldn't be joining a trian or so!

Growingboi:
Thank God that the EFCC know their boundary. Even Tompolo is giving Nigeria headache now let alone GEJ. Oga Buhari, kindly warn your boys o




“From what we have, what was sent to us was based on media reports.
Those who brought the letter have not disclosed any fact yet.
“So far, they have to come up with more evidence. We will certainly demand
for concrete evidence against the ex-President from the aggrieved who
wrote us. And it is strange that a petitioner or an individual will have to
give the EFCC a deadline to do its work.”

Hussein Mubarak who ruled Egypt for almost 30yrs is standing trial even on live support n Egypt hasn't fallen. Let nobody deceive u, NO ONE IS MORE NIGERIA than others. GEJ can be arrested n nothing will happen just like nothing happened when he lost after all the threat u and it co-travellers issued before election.

This is what hatred n bitterness can cause. Pls leave someone alone so that u can as well be free.

Akpabio feels everything is by power, by thuggery
