Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, yesterday said that the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, is yet to serve him with the court papers with which she allegedly sued him.
An online medium had on Wednesday reported that Aisha has filed a suit against Fayose for alleging that she was one of those indicted in the Halliburton multi-million dollar scandal.
Efforts to get the lawyer and the court in which the suit was filed proved abortive. However, in a telephone chat with Fayose’s counsel, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, he said his client is yet to be served with the court papers. According to him, “We have not yet been served with Mrs. Aisha Buhari’s writ against Governor Fayose.
We are waiting for this legally and jurisprudentially scintillating and ground breaking suit that will open up new vistas and rip open yet undiscovered entrails of Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution, which grants immunity to President, Vice- President, Governors and Deputy Governors.”
Reports yesterday, however, said an Abuja High Court has granted Aisha an order of substituted service of the court process on Fayose.
