Reports have it that Aisha Buhari has landed in the United States of America amidst threats by Fayose over her alleged involvement in the Halliburton bribery scandal.

Online news platform, Sahara Reporters has authoritatively revealed that Aisha Buhari, the wife of Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari has finally visited the Washington DC, United States of America on a weeklong visit to attend a list of events after which she will return to Nigeria.

According to emerging information from the Nigerian Embassy in America, Aisha Buhari arrived on Wednesday evening by a British Airways flight from London. Supporters of the All Progressives Congress-led administration have been buzzing over Aisha Buhari's daring visit to America following insinuations by the Governor of Ekiti State and People's Democratic Party chieftain, Ayodele Peter Fayose that she is currently wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation over her alleged indictment in the Halliburton scandal.

 

 

 

 

 

Fayose is currently being called out on social media to bare his mind on his new development but the vocal critic of Buhari has been unusually silent since the news broke 6 hours ago as at press time.

Further investigations show that there is no “Aisha Buhari” mentioned in the Halliburton scandal.  However, there is one mentioned in the case of former United States congressman William Jefferson, who was convicted on corruption charges in 2009, and to whom “Aisha Buhari” wired the sum of $170,000.  It is to that matter the governor mistakenly appears to allude.

On several occasions, Governor Fayose asserted that Mrs. Buhari could not enter the US, suggesting she would be arrested, a bluff she has now called.  Investigations by the online news platform and the New York Times have categorically stated that the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the court document in reference is not President Buhari's wife.  Nonetheless, Mrs. Buhari has sued Governor Fayose concerning his allegations.

According to an official invitation letter to her, obtained by SaharaReporters, Mrs. Buhari was expected to have arrived in the United Stastes two days ago, but was held back by official delays in Nigeria. 

Among others, she is expected during her visit to attend meetings at the George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.  She will also be hosted by the United States Institute of Peace, in collaboration with Voice of America, and attend the 25th Anniversary celebration of Zumunta Association USA Inc.

Aisha Buhari's august visit is bound to be followed by a chain reaction of political brickbats and shaming of the opposition party, PDP that has been accused of misleading supporters and maligning Aisha Buhari's image to score cheap political points.
