"Fayose is an Unchained Mad Dog," - President's wife fires back

Wife of the president, Aisha Buhari has reacted to allegations by Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state that she was indicted in the Halliburton Scandal. 

In a series of Tweets late hours of Tuesday, June 21, 2016, Mrs Buhari described the Ekiti state governor as an "Unchained Mad Dog."

"Enough is Enough Fayose. A mad dog that isn't chained. I refuse to keep quiet. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FAYOSE IS AN UNCHAINED MAD DOG If Buhari is 73 years old, I Aisha am 45 years old, I have more than enough energy to face you," she tweeted.

 

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has debunked claims by the Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose, that the first lady was implicated in the Halliburton scandal.

Similarly, Former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde dismissed reports that President Muhammadu Buhari's wife participated in a bribery scandal involving a U.S. Congressman, Williams Jefferson.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the Federal Government would have ignored the allegations but decided to respond so innocent Nigerians will not be swayed by falsehood.

The Presidential spokesman also said Mrs Buhari had no direct or indirect connection with Congressman William Jefferson, the U.S. lawmaker who was convicted in 2009.
