Presidential candidate’s wife under fire over alleged ‘use’ of public servants
The wife of ruling party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung was on Thursday under fire over allegations of using her husband’s aides to run her errands.
The errands includes picking up packs of beef, getting drug prescriptions and leaving them at her door step.
Kim Hye-kyung, the wife of the Democratic Party (DP) presidential nominee, had earlier on Wednesday issued an apology, five days after SBS TV first reported the claims, saying she took full responsibility for what transpired as she should have drawn a line between personal and official business.
The revelation came only weeks ahead of the March 9 presidential election, a tight race in which her husband has been neck and neck with main opposition candidate Yoon Suk-yeol of the People Power Party (PPP) in recent polls.
Kim faced further criticism after KBS TV reported that an aide, who worked as a secretary for the Gyeonggi provincial government when Lee was the governor, was made to pay for Kim’s purchase of beef using a personal credit card, only to cancel the transaction a day later and repeat the transaction with a company credit card.
The media reports have largely been based on text messages and phone calls exchanged between the aide and a higher-level official in an administrative department from April to November last year.
The higher-level official, surnamed Bae, has been identified as the person who gave the orders.
Lee also issued his own apology under mounting pressure.
According to one report, the secretary had collected Lee’s suit from the official governor’s residence and discussed handling his laundry even after he had left office in October.
“As governor, I failed to thoroughly check for possible wrongful acts by my staff, and my wife failed to detect and stop in advance things that could be problematic,’’ he said in a statement, calling for an inquiry into the use of the company card.
“If any problems are revealed, I will take responsibility in accordance with the rules,’’ he said, adding that he and his family, and those around him, promise to think and act more prudently from now on.
The PPP has seized on the accusations after grappling for months with a similar controversy related to the alleged ethical lapses of Yoon’s wife, Kim Keon-hee.
The party said it plans to report Lee, his wife and the public servant to the prosecution on charges of abuse of power, extortion and violation of the medical law.
Bae had earlier admitted that she sent the secretary on errands, not at Kim’s orders but out of her own desire to curry favor with the governor couple.
Initially, she had denied her involvement and threatened to take action against those who spread false rumors.
The DP has come to Lee’s defence, saying neither the candidate nor his wife was directly involved in the case.
“We have to determine the facts and the truth behind what transpired between (the two staff members),’’ Rep. Park Chan-dae, senior spokesman of the DP campaign committee, said in a CBS radio interview on Thursday.

Ex-Senator drags estranged wife of Fani-Kayode to court
A former senator, Mrs Grace Bent has dragged Precious Chikwendu, estranged wife of former Aviation Minister, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode to the Federal High Court, Abuja over alleged defamation of character.
When the matter was called on Monday, however, Chikwendu was absent in court and there was no legal representation on her behalf.
Mr Joseph Offor who announced his appearance for the prosecution said that he was holding the brief of Mr Victor Okoye who was away in Lagos.
Offor told the court that he had little information about the case and so could not explain why Chikwendu and her legal team were absent in court.
The trial judge, Justice Obiora Egwuatu subsequently adjourned the matter until March 10 for arraignment.
Chikwendu, an ex-beauty queen had, through her social media handle, accused Bent of using the police to intimidate her with regards to the feud between her and her former husband.
Bent, however, in a statement, described the allegation as “very weighty” adding that she was consulting with her legal team and would not hesitate to seek appropriate legal redress.
Bent, who is a close friend and longtime political associate of Fani-Kayode, has debunked the allegations, describing it as a “very weighty” one that carries “assassination tendencies and intendment.”

Rafiu, who lives in Odo ona Elewe area in Ibadan, made the appeal in his reply to his wife’s allegation of not showing her enough love.

“Worst still, her mother always take her side anytime I report her misbehaviours,” Rafiu said.
He further said that his wife denied him access to their two children.
Earlier, Mujidat in her petition to the court, accused Rafiu of not showing her love.
Mujidat, who sales electronics, said:”I live in constant fear of her Rafiu’s divorce threats.
“Although, Rafiu does not beat me, he no longer loves me. I can feel it”.
President of the Court S.M. Akintayo, ordered the petitioner to produce the children in court on the next adjourned date.
She advised the couple to avoid any form of breach of peace.
Akintayo adjourned the matter until March 19 for judgment.

Why I chose to remain umarried after my wife’s death – IBB
Former Military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has opened up on why he has chosen not to marry again since the death of his wife, Hajiya Maryam Babangida.
IBB, 80, also spoke on the kind of president he wants for Nigeria in 2023.
The former military president made the revelations in an exclusive interview with Trust TV.
Maryam Babangida died on December 27, 2009, at the age of 61.
Maryam, who was Nigeria’s First Lady between 1985 and 1993, died at the University of California’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centre (JCCC) in Los Angeles, United States after battling ovarian cancer for years.
Former Military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has opened up on why he has chosen not to marry again since the death of his wife, Hajiya Maryam Babangida.
IBB, 80, also spoke on the kind of president he wants for Nigeria in 2023.
The former military president made the revelations in an exclusive interview with Trust TV.
Maryam Babangida died on December 27, 2009, at the age of 61.
Maryam, who was Nigeria’s First Lady between 1985 and 1993, died at the University of California’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centre (JCCC) in Los Angeles, United States after battling ovarian cancer for years.
Since her death over 12 years ago, many Nigerians had thought that IBB would take another wife to keep him company but that has not happened to date.
At some point, there was a rumour that IBB was going to take a new wife but he didn’t.
But when asked during the latest interview why he has not taken another wife many years after the death of Hajiya Maryam, IBB said: “No, I didn’t do it, you would have known.
“The media still snoop around me, they should have known. I haven’t. It is a matter of choice; I decided to honour her by being not a bachelor but being unmarried.”
Besides speaking on why he did not marry again, Babangida also spoke on his choice for the 2023 presidency.
It could be recalled that IBB had in interviews last year outlined some attributes of his ideal president in 2023.
The former Nigerian leader, when asked by Trust TV to mention the particular person that fits his ideal president in 2023, said: “It is not who do I have in mind but who fits in; any person who fits in within these criteria, then he is the right person as long as he is a Nigerian; he is a politician, he is not old like I am; he is very conversant with the country, he communicates, he is a very good communicator.
He should be able to communicate because a president should be able to walk into a group of people and talk to them on issues concerning Nigeria; not all the time but most of the time.
