* Fayose 
A United States of America, USA-based Nigerian professor of journalism, Farook Kperogi says the recent allegations against the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari's wife, Aisha by Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose may earn him a libel suit.

 Kperogi, writing on his facebook wall argued that  "Gov. Ayo Fayose's allegation against Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari is reckless, factually inaccurate, and libelous all rolled into one.This is particularly disquieting because thousands, perhaps millions, of Nigerians on social media are ignorantly spreading a malicious falsehood against an innocent woman."

 The university don who dissected the source of Fayose's allegation stressed  amongst others:

 First, according to him, the said 'Aisha Buhari' is quoted in the story as identifying herself as the daughter of President Buhari, not his wife; 

 Second, the said lady may be a criminal impostor as she bears no physical  resemblance to the President's wife from her picture;And she  still lives in Virginia, USA

 Third, in 2007 when the story first began, President Buhari clearly dismissed her claims, saying:"'I don’t have any relationship with that Aisha Buhari,' Mr. Buhari said. 'I don’t have any daughter called Aisha Buhari living outside this country. She is not my daughter.' He spoke in reaction to inquiries from the New York Times, NYT;

 Fourth, the then head of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr Nuhu Ribadu also dismissed any ties between President Buhari and the lady. Said Ribadu to NYT:  "As for Ms. Buhari, who is living in Virginia, it’s not clear who she really is. For one, she is under investigation in Nigeria by its Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, said its head, Nuhu Ribadu.

 Theledgerng.com reports that the said lady is well known to former Governor of Akwa Ibom, Victor Attah  since 2001 when he was introduced to him by an
American 'consultant'

 It will also be recalled that the EFCC under Ribadu asked the   American authorities to arrest Ms. Buhari. That did not happen. The US  Justice Department was also reported to have  an interest in her. 

 During the period,  she testified before a grand jury investigating Mr. Jefferson, the congressman, who is suspected of soliciting bribes from American companies seeking business in Nigeria.
