Aisha Buhari And Patience Jonathan, Nigerians Say First Lady Is A Bigger Thief

Arising as a fallout from the prosecution of Patience Jonathan, wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan and drive for her to forfeit about N8.4 billion linked to her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nigerians appear not to be too comfortable with the drive and have decided to compare her with Aisha Buhari, wife of President Buhari.

A Federal High Court Lagos had on March 13, fixed April 12,  to hear oral evidence in a suit by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, seeking final forfeiture of about 8.4 million dollars, and N7.4 billion linked to the former first Lady, Patience Jonathan.

Justice Mojisola Olatoregun had in a ruling delivered on Feb.28, on the motion for final forfeiture, held that there were conflicting affidavit evidence, which could be best resolved if respective parties were called upon to give oral evidence.

The case was consequently, adjourned until March 13 (today) for oral evidence 

Nigerians on twitter are however comparing both first ladies, saying both Aisha Buhari is even more corrupt than Patience. A few of their reactions using the hashtag #Aisha Buhari monitored by Opera News are collated below:

Let’s drag patience Jonathan all day long and compare her to abacha no problem. But we should not forget that Aisha Buhari‘s ADC was involved in a fraud of 2.5 billion naira. History always have a way of rewriting itself.

Let’s take things one step at a time. Let’s not be faster than time. For now, it’s Patience Johnathan that is being criticized, tho close neighbours are mocking her. Aisha Buhari is no saint either . Lots have gone wrong & many will still go. Keep some energy for her

Welcome to the Federal Republic Of Hypocrites,former First Lady Patience Jonathan was found guilty, and she had to forfeit the ill gotten funds, instead of commending the agency for recovering taxpayers money, we decide to transfer aggression to Aisha Buhari.. Una no well

Think before you tweet. Aisha Buhari wants to raise funds to build a public institution to be owned by the govt, Patience Jonathan has billions in unexplained loot in her bank accounts. Not comparable. If you want to attack AB, base it on her personal assets not her public works.

What a corrupt ADC did without d knowledge of his Ọ̀gá CANNOT be used to vilify d Ọ̀gá at all. In fact, it was Aisha Buhari that reported him when she got to know about d illicit collection of monies from ppl wanting to meet with her.

Patience Jonathan’s case is different… https://t.co/fkO3pDC4Zc
