The problem with this administration is that they do not know how to kill issues once and for all. They keep messing up their non existent reputation over little issues. While i believe that Aisha Buhari is innocent, the best way to exonerate her is to launch an independent probe on the Halliburton scandal after all there are other indicted names who are moving in and out of Aso rock. What is difficult in probing this particular scandal?
The probe will set the record straight and punish others involved. If not for any other thing,we would have been seen in the eyes of the world that we are serious about fighting corruption, remember the Americans have punished their own. What else is Buhari waiting for? Is he comfortable that his wife and some of his associates are being mentioned because of this scandal or is he trying to protect something?

Really? Methinks she's as guilty as sin....or has a huge disdain for Nigerians

One simple question for the Rabid Unchained Mad Dog of Ekiti and his horde of Israeli fans: was the person mentioned Mrs Aisha Buhari or Ms Aisha Buhari??
I pray you don't kick the bucket soon over this painful obsession, because I'd be here for at least another two years.

Spare us the semantics, meanwhile Fulani herdsmen are still occupying your village while you are here trying to make feeble attempts at defending Mrs Buhari

So, Obj, and Atiku will be involved in the Halliburton scandal and the aisha buhari will be a nobody?
Nigerians while you follow your heart please carry your brain along.

Oh, lemme guess, it was a typo.



Oh hell you people are too damn quick to jump on anything with an Omenka on it..

Haba!! How could a court be UNSURE of the marital status of someone they are PROSECUTING??

Na wa oo!! I don't even understand why I'm in this argument.

Everyone should believe what they want to, it is their prerogative.

Same SR which has turned to you people's favourite news source due to their revelations on Buratai and Danbazau made their investigations and concluded the person involved isn't Buhari's wife- but that doesn't sit well with your narative- so it has to be discarded!!

Believe what you want to, na una palaver be dat one not mine.



One thing these people slaving after Fayose and applauding his madness can never answer is why aren't the governors in their own region, 80% of whom are in the opposition, acting the way Fayose is if that is the right way to go about governance or opposition politics?? Fayose has completely jettisoned his responsibility as a state governor as has chosen to spend all his time fighting a totally fruitless battle.

These people who make up his support base know they are insulated from the consequences of his ignominy, so they push him forward on his path to self destruction. The innocent people of Ekiti state would be the ones to bear the brunt of his stupidity.

The same way they cheer on Fayose is how they cheer on the destruction of Niger Delta by Niger Delta terrorists - but they all went mute the day a pipeline was bombed in Imo state- that is how wicked their hearts are!





Ps: There's been this iPod Donkey who seems to have made sniffing after my rump on Nairaland his lifetime career. Weeks on end, the same thing everywhere I go- yet not a quarter of a f»ck has been given.

We know she is guilty. Names of people don't just get included in things like this.
I haven't seen my name all over the Halliburton case because I wasn't part of it.

All this counter posts from APC and co are just to shield Aisha from the Justice system.
A sitting governor can never point fingers to the wife of a sitting President if he wasn't sure of what he was talking about. We are no fools.

The idiotic system of government we have in Nigeria made it easy for thieves and rogues to thrive.
Buhari was aware of Aisha's involvement with Halliburton, that was the reason why he tried to shut down the office of the first Lady just to shield himself from whatever fallout that may ensure. Unfortunately, the young wife doesn't want to remain quiet, she goes about hosting meetings and distributing rice to substitute with the hunger in the land. Of course the first question from every hungry person would always remain "Do you have food for me"

And for the record, if Aisha was involved, Buhari was also involved.
We know how wives do things in Nigeria, my wife wouldn't get involved in certain things without my knowledge.

I like your judgement

Av gat so much hate for APC but i dont think this trash fayose and his mike ozekhome wrote is worth anybody's time

There can be a hundred thousands aisha buhari. The one stated there hasnt in any way pointed to the first lady

If she was the one, PDP, which Buhari has been opposing would have used this piece of evidence against him during the last 16 years

Buharis government is frustrating but i think all what fayose is saying is trash

Its my opinion oh. Dont quote me if all in your head is to insult me

I don't know how anyone in his right mind will use ozekome has a lawyer, please you guys should check his records, how many cases he handled, how many he won, the records are in court, he said worse during tinubu/dokpesi faceoff, we all know the story and how it ends,

Now to the subject matter, two things comes to my mind, would Obj and Atiku at that time allow the wife of their political rival to be part of a bribery transactions? Buhari was their nemesis then,
2, The account the money emanate from has mandate, there are pictures there with all the details, there are alot of aisha buharis in the North, its a common name like kemi ogun in sw chike obi in se.
I think the first lady Should not bother to reply fayose, she should just go to court.

AntiWailer:
Where is the fact ?

The Aisha Buhari was a resident in USA. Why not state Aisha's address when she was living in USA.

I understand the need for all of you to push 'Everybody is corrupt' so they can leave your corrupt benefactors alone.

What is the profile of Aisha Buhari resident in USA to wire $170,000 into Jefferson account. The Haliburton scandal involved very high profiles, if I may ask you who is William Jefferson? There is other William Jefferson in America why was this very White House Jefferson singled out as the criminal? Why was the Aisha Jefferson in US never arrested or invited for questioning by US Intelligence when Jefferson was been tried and finally imprisoned? Only in Nigeria a spade is not a spade, but a spoon. Don't trust this polithiefians, they will give you heart break. Aisha Buhari is a thief as far as this scandal is concern.

In saner climes, a case file will surely be opened and the matter will be looked into.

My friend, stop exposing your ignorance boldly in the full glare of everyone.

I will simply advise carefulness in passing judgement and conclusion over this lingering issue. The name in the document states "Aisha Buhari". I believe anybody including the President's wife can be Aisha Buhari, but my comment is based on the fact that very many persons from some particular tribes can bear same name and surname. I vividly remember when i got an admission in a School up there in Kano, four (4) different persons from the North bearing with documents bearing same name and surname appeared for admission for just one name. It took real time to identify which of them actually owns the admission name. Lets not rush into judgement while the scenario unfolds for better viewing.

captleonerd:
congregation of frustrated wailers una well-done o.

the Aisha involved claimed to be buhari's daughter and was based in Virginia. was the wife of the president ever based in Virginia?

common sense is really not for the wailers

zombie talking

ZUBY77:
Then she is a thief.
We will comfortably see her as a rogue and part of the Halliburton scandal even down to her shalow grave until she proves us otherwise.
****

na this same hypocrites go shout say why saraki them dey fear to go court if them dey innocent of the forgery accusation...na this same hypocrites ooo!!!!!!...omenka and co are all freaking hypocrites...infact they are all thieves like their pay masters...

them wan force aisha to be incorruptible without her proving otherwise by travelling to the USA...to what end...who them or buhari wife epp..nonsense thieves patrolling as saints...

Mcdondayan:
I thought the APC said she was going to travel to the US on the 3rd of July,ir is my calendar wrong?

There will still be 3rd of July come 2017, 2018... going forward..

angels09:
Really? Methinks she's as guilty as sin....or has a huge disdain for Nigerians

I would want to give her the benefit of the doubt that she is innocent. Whether she is involved or not is not really my problem But the issue is why is PMB not interested in probing this case being the only anti corruption leader we have? Even if Aisha is innocent, there are others involved and needs to be punished too, why is he keeping mute? This case has been begging for attention since some months now and i expect PMB if he truly is sincere to unleash probe immediately but unfortunately it seems there is more to this case and that is why he is silent.

searchng4love:
Counsel to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, has replied the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Mrs Aisha Buhari through her counsel, Mary Ekpere & Co, saying the governor’s claim as regards her involvement in the infamous Halliburton scandal was correct and justified in law.

Ozekhome insisted that there are documentary evidences to support the governor’s claim that Mrs Buhari was indeed mentioned in the scandal.
In the letter dated July 8, 2016, Ozekhome affirmed that the statement made regarding the involvement of Mrs Aisha Buhari in the Halliburton scandal was “correct and justified in law, having regards to a court judgment convicting one Mr William Jefferson for bribery in the Halliburton case.” Counsel to the president’s wife, Mary Ekpere & Co had written to Governor Fayose on June 22, 2016, demanding a retraction of the governor’s statement that the President’s wife was involved in the Halliburton scandal, threatening legal action if the retraction was not made within five days.


“The said Williams Jefferson is currently serving a jail term in the USA and to the best of our client’s knowledge; this judgment has not been challenged, or set aside by any Appellate court of law anywhere in the world.

Ok,two things for this quack that parades himself as an Attorney:

1. William Jefferson's case had nothing to do with Halliburton but everything to do with BRIBERY involving Mr.Aboubakr Atiku.

2.Rep. Jefferson did appeal his sentence--ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT-- but failed to have his case reversed/overturned; something this mo*ron of a lawyer could've easily confirmed if he wasn't so ineffective.

Boy o' boy, I can't wait to see the end of Gov.Fayose's antics if these are the kind of dolts he's hoping to defend him when law enforcement comes calling at the end of his tenure.

You guys are taking this personal and i don't understand why. PMB can end this brouhaha is he wants to and it is simple. Launch a whole scale investigation into this issue and fish out the culprits. You mentioned Atiku, if Jefferson is in Jail, what is Atiku doing in the corridors of power here in Nigeria? or is he above the fight against corruption? This is not just about Aisha, but our sincerity in fighting corruption as a whole. But except there is something to hide, PMB can keep turning a blind eye to this issue.

William Jefferson Appeal: Supreme Court Rejects Hearing Challenge From Former Congressman
Nov 26, 2012 | Updated Jan 26, 2013

(Adds background)

WASHINGTON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear the appeal of former Louisiana congressman William Jefferson, who had challenged his 2009 conviction on multiple charges of bribery and money laundering.

In March, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, had upheld 10 of 11 guilty counts against the former Democratic lawmaker.

A federal jury had found Jefferson guilty of soliciting bribes, money laundering and participation in a racketeering scheme. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison but remained free while pursuing an appeal.

Prosecutors accused him of soliciting millions of dollars in bribes from companies while using his office to broker ventures such as telecommunications transactions in Ghana and Nigeria, oil concessions in Equatorial Guinea, investments in a Nigerian sugar plant and satellite transmission contracts in Botswana, Equatorial Guinea the Republic of Congo.
