Aisha Buhari to Fayose- Retract Your Statement in Five Days Or Face Legal Action


Category: Nigeria National News

First Lady Aisha Buhari demanded a retraction of Fayose’s allegation in which he claimed to have uncovered how Mrs. Buhari was mentioned as having transferred funds to a convicted former United States (U.S.) lawmaker, Williams Jefferson.

In a letter dispatched through her legal representatives, Mrs. Buhari said Fayose’s action was directly responsible for the publication of the “very wild and unfounded” allegations in the media.


According to online newspaper Premium Times, a copy of the letter sent to the governor is titled: “Demand for unqualified retraction of the false statement published by you in various media on the 20th of June, 2016, and subsequent dates regarding our client, Her Excellency, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.”  The First Lady gave Mr. Fayose five working days to retract the statement or face a legal action.

“Our client has referred to us statement made by you and published on the 20th of June, 2016 (and other subsequent days) concerning and pertaining to her person for necessary action.

“The said statement which was caused by you and your agents to be widely circulated and published in various media platforms: print, electronic and online such as  PREMIUM TIMES  www.premiumtimesng.com  on 20th of June, 2016, contains very wild, unfounded and false allegations and imputations against the person of our client.

“Specifically, in the said statement credited to you and signed by your Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, you, inter alia, falsely stated as follows:

“Even the president cannot claim to be an angel. The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was indicted over the Halliburton scandal (sic). 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 serialize the judgement for people to see and read,” Ismaila Alasa and Mary Ekpene, who signed the letter on behalf of the law firm, said.
