See Where Fayose Got pres. Buhari Angry

The drama between the embattled governor of Ekiti State went worse when Peter Ayodele Fayose recently accused the wife of president Mohammed Buhari of being involved in the Haliburton scandal.

In his accusation, governor Fayose said if the government of president Buhari was actually fighting curruption it would have looked into the money scandal which the wife's name Aisha Buhari was included.

On the part of EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorode who was the former director of operations when reacting to the statement accredited to Ekiti state governor said, the name AISHA BUHARI mention among the people indicted in the Haliburton scandal was not refering to the wife of president Buhari. According to him,

“I was the director of operations at the EFCC at the time so I know about the case very well.

I can tell you that it is not her (President Buhari’s wife)~ Ibrahim Lamorde''.

Recall that the name AISHA BUHARI was among the Haliburton bribery scandal, which dates back to 1994 when the Nigerian government was to launch an ambitious plan to build the Bonny Island Natural Liquefied Gas Project, where $182 million bribery was said to be taken in exchange of $6 billion for the launching of the said Project.
Since then, reactions has continue to trail among Nigerians stressing that those involve should be brought to book. Indications has it that after the Fayose's statement till date things has not gone down well with him.

In recent times, the media have been inundated with brilliant arguments that power must rotate to the Riverine section of Rivers State. This aspiration no doubt is predicated on the dogged principle of equity and justice aiming at building a virile and egalitarian Rivers state where every section would feel a sense of belonging. Little wonder that a people that produce the bulk of the natural resources for the sustenance of the state and the nation cannot access the seat of power of the state to determine how the resources are applied for the development of the state. They are being systematically pushed to the periphery to serve as second fiddle in the state. Unfortunately, in Rivers state brick house, spare tyres never had opportunity to ride the car of governance. This is perhaps the worst type of internal neo- colonialism which must be dismantled in Rivers State in the 2019 gubernatorial election. Even more disturbing is the fact that from 1999 till date the coveted seat ...
