A report is trending about Aisha Buhari, Abba Kyari &
others bleeding Nigeria’s high commission in London. The President’s
wife has challenged Sahara Reporters to come up with concrete evidence
to contradict her for the sake of Nigerians who deserve to know the
truth all the time.
Mrs Buhari has described as baseless and mischievous, a report on
linking her with allegations of abuse of privileges at the Nigerian High
Commission in London.
She made this known in a statement by Mrs Adebisi Olumide-Ajayi, her Special Assistant on Media in Abuja on Friday.
The statement reads in part:
“It was not in the interest of Mrs Buhari to join issues with anyone, but necessary to put the record in proper perspective.
“This is necessary as it concerns her trip to UK and the Nigerian
High Commission in London. Mrs Buhari had never traveled with a large
entourage to London as reported by the Saharareporters.
“The Nigerian High Commission in London had never offered any favour either in cash or material to Mrs Buhari”.
She said that the record were not hidden for non-mischievous
reporter, who intend to inform the people and not to disparage the
president’s family.
“Mrs Buhari would have ignore the publication like all such baseless
accusations, but for the angle with which the report was presented has a
corruption and abuse of privileges connotation.
“This, however, negate the fundamental principles upon which Buhari’s administration thrives.
“It is on record that the Nigerian High Commission in London did not
receive Aisha Buhari at the Airport with any official distinction or
privilege as it was accorded other first ladies before her.
“She never complained or raised dust about any of these act by the
High Commission because of the understanding as clearly spelt out and
practiced by her husband.
“That public office must be separated from the private lives of the
occupants. Even her drivers are privately arranged without any recourse
to embassy for staff.”
