The Other Aisha Buhari, Whose Passport Is Circulating Speaks Out! ‘I Live In The US, It Wasn’t Me’:
The Other Aisha Buhari, Whose Passport Is Circulating Speaks Out! ‘I Live In The US, It Wasn’t Me’:
Aisha Buhari, the woman
whose name and passport is being circulated by online supporters of the
ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, as the woman mentioned in the
William Jefferson bribery scandal has denied any involvement in the
case.
An individual, who
identifies as an All Progressives Congress supporter, had shared the
full image of Ms. Buhari’s travel passport to one of The Trent’s
editors on Tuesday, June 21, 2016. He claimed that the woman in the
photo was the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the William Jefferson bribery
scandal. Normally, we wouldn’t publish this image, but it has already
been circulated widely.
Ms. Buhari reportedly
stressed that though she shares the same name with the wife of Nigeria’s
president, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, she’s not the person mentioned in the
bribery scandal. She described the circulation of her name and image in
the scandal as malicious and wicked.
She said that her
personal date provided in the news reports were taken from her stolen
passport. She also maintained that she lives in the United States of
America and travels “in and out” of the country without any problems,
maintaining that one involved in such a scandal would have been
apprehended by the US law enforcement agencies.
She said that dragging
her name into the scandal “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”.
“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 angrily.
“If somebody commits crime in the US, he or she must face trial. Have you heard I am being tried in the US?
”Let them stop this
malicious allegation against me that they do not have proof of, I hate
people who do not cross check facts before talking, they should find out
in the US the kind of person I am because I belong to organisations
there.
“If they think they are politician and
can break the law and go free, they should realise that nobody is above
the laws of a country including me.
When asked if Ms. Aisha Buhari would
take legal action against the people circulating her image and passport
and linking her to the Halliburton scandal, ”I am talking with my
lawyers, they will determine that”, she said.
