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.
