The wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha Buhari has yet again turned down invitation by US Authorities to visit the states.
SaharaReporters had late July revealed details of the First Lady’s upcoming trip to the United States this August.
News of Mrs. Buhari’s trip to the US follows accusations by embattled Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose that she was involved in the famous Halliburton scandal and, as a consequence, cannot go to the US for fear of being arrested.
According to an official invitation letter obtained by our source, Mrs. Buhari was expected to be in the US from August 1st and will be attending bilateral meetings at the George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. She will also be hosted by the United States Institute of Peace in collaboration with Voice of America media organization.
The invitation also says that Mrs. Buhari “will attend the 25th Anniversary celebration of Zumunta Association USA Inc.”
The letter was signed by Hajo Sani, the Senior Special Assistant (Administration), on behalf of Mrs. Buhari.
But as at the time of filling in this report, the first lady is yet to depart Nigeria.
This is about the 4th time the first Lady is canceling proposed visit to the United States since President Buhari was sworn-in in May 2015
