The United States
government says it has no information on the alleged crimes committed by
President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha.
The acting Public Affairs Officer, US Consulate General, Lagos, Frank Sellin, said this in an email sent PUNCH on Tuesday.
Sellin
said this in response to an enquiry made by PUNCH regarding allegations
that the President’s wife was wanted in the US and was avoiding
travelling to the country.
.
In a message, Sellin said, “Thank you for the inquiry. We have no information to provide on this matter.”
The
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, had, last month, alleged that Mrs.
Buhari was involved in the $185m Halliburton scandal.
While
reacting to the freezing of his Zenith Bank accounts by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, Fayose claimed that the wife of the
President was a wanted person in the US.
He had
said, “Even the President cannot claim to be an angel. The estate he
built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was indicted in the Halliburton
scandal.
When
that American, Jefferson, was being sentenced, the President’s wife was
mentioned as having wired $170,000 to Jefferson. Her name was on page 25
of the sentencing of Jefferson. We can serialise the judgment for
people to see and read.” Fayose repeated the claim in a statement by his
Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi.
He said Aisha refused to travel with the President to the US because of her involvement in the scandal.
*The only solution to this would be if Mrs Buhari just travels to the US…JUST TRAVEL AND PUT THEM TALKERS TO SHAME MADAM..
