Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has alleged that Mrs Buhari has been avoiding travelling to the US in order to evade arrest for her alleged involvement in the Halliburton scandal.
The Governor has also dared President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha to visit the United States of America to convince Nigerians that she was not the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the scandal.
Fayose had on Monday stated that the President’s wife was the person allegedly indicted by a US Court for transferring $170,000 to indicted US Congressman, Williams Jefferson, in the Halliburton scandal.
Speaking in a statement issued through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, on Wednesday, the Governor “challenged the president’s wife to visit the United States of America to convince Nigerians that she was not the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the judgment convicting William Jefferson.”
“It is on record that the President has visited USA three times and his wife did not travel with him.
“She ought to have visited USA last year September to chair a United Nation programme but she sent the wife of the Senate President, Mrs Toyin Saraki to represent her,” he said.
“I advise that they should keep their gun pounder dry and wait till the end of my tenure in 2018 and I want to assure them that I will be available to answer any of their questions, no matter how unreasonable,” he added.
