Nigeria’s leading opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari is capable of assassinating Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state.
Governor Fayose in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Idowu Adelusi alleged that Mrs Buhari was indicted in the Halliburton scandal.
Reacting to Fayose’s claim, the presidency and former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Lamorde dismissed reports that the President’s wife participated in the bribery scandal involving the United States Congressman, Williams Jefferson.
The argument took a dramatic turn when Mrs Buhari took to Twitter describing the governor as an “Unchained Mad Dog.” The tweets were frantically deleted about two hours later after widespread public criticisms tongue-lashing Mrs. Buhari for using abusive language unbefitting of the wife of a President.
In a reaction, the PDP through its official handle (@PdpNigeria) said: “Governor Fayose may have to take extra security measures to prevent Aisha Buhari or the 1st family from assassinating him.”
This woman is capable of assassinating governor Fayose for exposing her corrupt dealings. https://t.co/Js7RgY5AWn
