The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has specifically asked the wife of the president, Mrs. Aisha Buhari to wait till the end of his tenure which is on 18th of October 2018 before going ahead with the defamation of her alleged crime with Halliburton in the US.

Fayose in a letter by his counsel, Mike Ozekhome, a copy of which was made available to reporters in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday said he enjoys constitutional immunity from civil and criminal proceedings during the period he occupies the office of the governor.

The governor maintained in the letter that the statement he made regarding the alleged involvement of Mrs. Buhari in the Halliburton scandal was “correct and justified in law, having regards to a court judgment convicting one Mr. William Jefferson of bribery in the case.”

Counsel to Mrs. Buhari, Mary Ekpere & Co, had written a letter to Fayose dated June 22, 2016, demanding a retraction of the governor’s statement that her client was involved in the Halliburton scandal, threatening a legal action if the retraction is not made within five days.

However, Ozekhome said the statement of Governor Fayose was correct and justified, having been factually premised on an existing court judgment.

The letter reads; “Our client has referred to us your letter dated 22nd June, 2016, on alleged defamation of the character of your client , Her Excellency, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, with firm instructions to reply to and reject same in its entirety.

“Our client states and reaffirms categorically that the statement he made as regards the involvement of Mrs. Aisha Buhari, the wife of President Buhari, in the Halliburton scandal, is correct and justified in law; having regards to a court judgement convicting one Mr. William Jefferson for bribery in the Halliburton case.

“Therein, the name of the President’s wife featured conspicuously. At page 22 of the said judgment delivered by the United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, USA, in criminal No 1: 07CR209, the said Mr. William Jefferson was sentenced at 9:00am on November 13, 2009, by Mark D, Lytle. Your client, Mrs. Aisha Buhari was specifically mentioned in the judgment.

I sight you!

Fayose! I think he will contest for Second term....or he is not qualified having spent a term before now Lawyers should help.


But if he will be out of government house in 2018....ha, he should just seek asylum in Soweto or Burundi
Because if this PMB government catches him...it will be a long season film, the one he has never witnessed.

This is so hurriedly concocted and lacks any substance. The heading is so misleading. I was actually looking for a statement credited to USA government or agents but I have found none. Someone will sit down to write this?.
If someone is not payed to type this trash, then that person must be intellectually challenged. If money is invoved,am sure it is peanuts. The OP must be high on banana leaves.
