A copy of the letter, sent to Mr. Fayose through solicitors Mary Ekpere & Co., via courier on Wednesday, was exclusively made available to PREMIUM TIMES. The letter, titled: “Demand for unqualified retraction of the false statement published by you in various media on the 20th of June, 2016, and subsequent dates regarding our client, Her Excellency, Mrs. Aisha Buhari the wife of Pres. Buhari, GCFR,” reads:
“Our client has referred to us statement made by you and published on the 20th of June, 2016 (and other subsequent days) concerning and pertaining to her person for necessary action. The said statement which was caused by you and your agents to be widely circulated and published in various media platforms, contains very wild, unfounded and false allegations and imputations against the person of our client.
Specifically, in the said statement credited to you and signed by your Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, you, inter alia, false stated as follows: ‘Even the president cannot claim to be an angel. The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was indicted over the Halliburton Scandal (sic).
When that American, Jeferson, was being sentenced, the President’s wife was mentioned as having wired $170,000 to Jefferson. Her name was on page 25 of the sentencing of Jefferson. We can serialise the judgement for people to see and read.’
Take notice that unless you and your agents meet our humble demands within 5 (five) working days of the receipt of this letter, we shall take all necessary steps within the contemplation of the law to seek redress for our client.”…. n wailers shldnt call it a witch hunt….
