Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has failed to take back his words on the involvement of Aisha Buhari in the Halliburton scam despite threats of defamation by the legal representatives of the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari.
 
Fayose in an outburst during a press briefing has earlier linked her to the American Congressman William Jefferson’s bribery scandal of which the U.S lawmaker was convicted in 2009.

The five-day ultimatum which the president’s wife issued to the governor, demanding an apology, expired yesterday, 29th of June, 2016.

The media director in the Office of the Wife of the President, Zakari Nadabo, told Daily Trust on the telephone last night that the office had not received any communication from the governor as of 7.00pm yesterday.

Nadabo also disclosed that the wife of the president had left for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj. Mrs Buhari, through her lawyers, Ismaila Alasa and Mary Ekpere, described Fasoye’s allegation as “very wild and unfounded” as well as threatened to drag the governor to court if the statement was not retracted within five working days.
 
It remains unclear if Aisha Buhari is prepared to proceed with the law suit against Fayose who already has a case to deal with as regards the restriction of his private bank accounts by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
