Immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has said
Nigerians will never forget President Muhammadu Buhari for ruining the
country economically and promoting nepotism to the level of state
policy thereby dividing the country and threatening its unity.
Fayose, who is the Southwest Coordinator of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, said “apart from the civil
war era, the country has never been so insecure to the extent that our
military men, including retired top officers are killed so recklessly.
Thousands of Nigerians have been killed by herdsmen and the President
has done nothing.”
According to a release on Friday by his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka, the
former governor said; “At this time in 2014, a bag of rice was N7,000
but the same bag of rice is over N20, 000 now while other food items
are also beyond the reach of ordinary Nigerians.”
He said Nigerians will never forget a President who met petrol at
N86.50 per litre and increased it to N145 within one year and
destroyed the economy of the country to the extent that dollar that
exchanged for N197 to N1 is now over N360.
“Most importantly, Nigerians will forever remember President Buhari’s
flagrant disobedient to rule of law, selective application of justice,
use of state apparatus like the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), Police and Department of State Services (DSS) to
oppress his perceived political enemies and treatment of other arms of
government, especially the judiciary with contempt.
“Particularly, the people of Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Adamawa, Ekiti
and other States will remember the President for keeping silent when
herdsmen were killing them, raping their wives and destroying their
farmlands,” Fayose said.
The former governor assured that “In February 2019, God will deliver
Nigerians from President Buhari and his afflictions on the country.
He said; “With unemployment increasing from 17.6 million in 2017 to
20.9 million in 2018, and the President himself admitting his own
failure and promising more hardships next year, in other countries of
the world, he would have resigned instead of seeking to continue to
impoverish the country and its people with his directionless approach
to governance.
However, whether he chooses to take the most honourable path of
resigning or not, Nigerians will definitely remove him with their
votes and set themselves free in February 2019.”
