Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s long-term ally and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart, Otunba Oyewole Fasawe, a key participant in the Williams Jefferson’s bribery scandal, has throw weight behind Mrs Aisha Buhari.
Fasawe described Governor Ayodele Fayose’s accusations against President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha, as “fallacious, baseless, misinformed and defamatory”.
In a statement on Wednesday, Mr. Fasawe said Mrs. Buhari was not connected in any way to the transaction.
Mr. Fasawe is the Nigerian businessman mentioned in the scandal involving Mr. Jefferson, an ex-U.S. Congressman.
“We were the ones in government, and she was never a member of our party or my business associate. So, how could she have been involved in the first place,” Mr. Fasawe said.
“The matter is in court as I speak, with AMCON joined as a party to the suit. This is an opportunity for President Buhari to look into the matter and bring all connected to book. Since the matter is in court, I may not be able to say much”, he said
