President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha, has sued Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State for claiming that she was involved in the Halliburton corruption scandal.

Mr. Fayose had in June said Mrs. Buhari was the “Aisha Buhari” named in a U.S. court document, alleged to have been involved in a bribery case involving a convicted former U.S. lawmaker, Williams Jefferson.

The governor, in what appeared to be an error, referred to the scandal as the Halliburton corruption case. The Halliburton case is different from the Williams Jefferson scandal.

But Mr. Fayose insisted he was right despite Mrs. Buhari’s denial and threat of legal action,
The court summons, dated July 20, 2016, was exclusively made available to TIMES.
As governor, Mr. Fayose has constitutional immunity against criminal prosecution.
More details coming.

sauce?

Nice. Fayose and his handlers should present their evidence in court.

That moment when a woman whose husband is the president sues you.

If only this woman can go to america and come back i will personal sue fayose and hire 20 SANS to represent. Woman just go to america. How difficult is that for you? Wetin dey worry buhari and his wife sef? Bring certificate, you carry SANS come. Go to america and come back you dey go court. Ha

The governor is protected by the immunity clause and so therefore, the case against him will be stalled till after his tenure. However, I wish Lere Olayinka can be sued for all he's worth. That guy needs to be taught a serious lesson on how not to insult and malign people's integrity simply because of political differences.

Suing a sitting Governor is a violation of the Constitution.

She is also committing an offense and any one from Ekiti State can sue her for it....!!

To sue no hard na.



But with the legal bottlenecks in our judiciary system, i doubt anything concrete will come out of this.



She just might have to wait till the tout vacates the government house

This is waste of time Ma... sorry St Halliburton. a mere visit to the United States will surely resolve the matter.

Adjourn till 2018. Buhari and wife has no respect for rule of law. AISHA you want to turn Nigeria law because of your power. JUST GO TO AMERICA AND SAVE YOURSELF ALL THESE HEADACHE

How will Fayose prove his case?

Will he write to the FBI to help him identify the first lady as the Aisha Buhari character?

The FBI then replies that "Mr Fayose you are on your own, we no send you message say we dey find any Aisha Buhari in Nigeria."

This is one case where I would love to see someone made a scape goat for making baseless accusations with the hopes of tarnishing the image of the person wrongly accused.

Them say if person no be man, he go pull him clothes show them him pr*ck.
So aisha should travel to US and spare us this charade of going to court

I have nothing to say

I blame every Nigerian, for this distraction. We have a US fugitive occuping and desecrating the office of wife of the President, and we are taking it lightly.

Good move from innocent president's wife....


But visiting America would have been better!





Cheeeeers

A visit to the USA will not prosecute Fayose for his libellous crime.
What she is doing is taking Fayose to the legal arena where he can either prove his allegations or condemn himself.

The court is not a place for beer parlour talk, Fayose will have to bring his facts for the accusation he has made.
Fayose would explain to the courts when he became the FBI operative in Nigeria, and when the FBI disclosed that they are investigating the Aisha Buhari that is resident in Nigeria not USA, and is the wife and not Daughter of the president.

He has asked for a burden, let him carry it with the eagerness at which his mouth moves.

Fayose vs Aisha buhari and Dino melaye vs Remi Tinubu @this pple no dey tired.

She should visit the US and clear all doubts, period.

No!

The same mouth Fayose used to create doubt about an Aisha Buhari character in the USA that had been long revealed when the present first lady was just a private citizen in Kaduna, that same mouth of his would be used to clear the doubt.

You nor Fayose do not tell her when or where to travel to. She does not report to you and do not owe you a visit to the USA. Fayose however owes the courts the facts of his accusations.

If Fayose can prove his accusations in court, it would be to her shame. If Fayose cannot prove his accusations in court, then it will serve as a teachable moment for all Nigerians that love to propagate false information just to damage the image of another person.

Stop begging for Fayose. He has been presented with a rare opportunity to deal with Buhari and his wife, let him go to court and make his ers proud.

But Fayose has constitutional protection - Immunity.

Aisha will not travel to US simply because she wants to satisfy you or Fayose. She has nothing to prove to you wailers and you guys won't determine for her where she will travel to or not. If you have any evidence of wrong doing against her, go to court.

Fayose has committed a libellous act and she has sued him appropriately. By 2018, justice will be served accordingly. The court is the right place to prove your innocence and not unnecessary travelling.
