Is Fayose Right? “Real” Aisha Buhari says Her Passport Was Forged, to sue Presidency

The controversial “Aisha Buhari“ (not the Wife of the President) allegedly involved in the Halliburton scandal as the lady who shares the same name with President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, and whose passport was circulated by the Presidency as the person involved in the bribery scandal, said she was not the person referred to in the Halliburton scandal.

This followed the Presidency’s denial of the accusations against the wife of the President by Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, in which he claimed to have uncovered how Mrs. Buhari was allegedly mentioned as having transferred funds to a convicted former U.S. lawmaker, Williams Jefferson.

According to “Aisha Buhari” based in the US, some persons in government in Nigeria forged her passport.

Former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde had said the president’s wife was not the Aisha Buhari named in the scandal.

He also circulated a passport of this Aisha Buhari.

Ms Buhari, speaking exclusively with The Street Journal Tuesday night in the United States, said she was never involved in the scandal and linking her name with it was most malicious and wicked.

According to Ms Buhari, the allegation “is like pouring water on a sleeping person. I have never done anything with Halliburton, I don’t know the colour of the company. I am not in the line of business with Halliburton, so linking me with the bribery is wicked”, she fumed.

Speaking further, Ms Buhari said the details contained in the write up, which were displayed side by side with the story were croned from her stolen passport.

“They are desperate to cover their dirty track and link my name with the scandal that they have to first of all steal my passport. My passport was stolen early this year. And to give credibility to their story, details from the passport were used. They should come to the US, to find out If they are curious about the case”, she said.
