I was a bit surprised when I viewed the sentencing of a US senator (William Jefferson)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Jefferson implicated in a bribery scandal in which his agreement to bribe our then vice president became revealed. You can still find the sentencing file hosted on the US Department of Justice’s site.
What was really surprising is was the citing of exhibits 36-87 revealing wire transfers from a Nigerian account in the name of Aisha Buhari to the account of ANJ Group LLC, identifying the senator as the beneficiary.
This lends credit to the allegations of missin $2.8billion dollars under Buhari’s watch
It also I believe explains why Buhari found it okay to serve under the Abacha administration and eventually say after Abacha passed away, that “Abacha never stole”.
It is his public declaration that Abacha never stole combined with the fact that he served under Abacha that raised serious red flags in my mind about him. Why would anyone (especially one who served under Abacha) make such a declaration? It stands to reason that the only reason he would say that is that he had very strong reasons for which he would want us to believe that statement.
And I make bold to say that those reasons are almost certainly self-protective.
As I write this, it occurs to me that the man (Buhari) does not really respect Nigerians at all. Or else how could he have declared such a feeble lie, expecting anyone to believe it?
Anyway, this is the link to the US Department of Justice-hosted sentencing implicating Aisha Buhari in the Criminal Fraud case of William Jefferson, now serving his term in the US:
