President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration resembles that of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo where the rule of law was not respected, because both have their root in military dictatorship, the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, said on Monday.
He condemned Buhari for what he termed his poor human rights record and alleged that his administration had made things worse for the nation.
Fayose said, “If you look and search the style of Buhari’s administration and compare it with that of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who ruled the country between 1999 and 2007, the two administrations have a resemblance of military dictatorship.”
According to him, looking critically at the administration of the All Progressives Congress, people have discovered that the Buhari-led government does not possess an iota of human right.
He further alleged that Buhari had only concentrated on chasing members of the Peoples Democratic Party over alleged corruption.
Fayose spoke at the Confluence Stadium in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, during the grand finale of the People’s Democratic Party rally for its Kogi State governorship candidate, Capt. Idris Wada.
Some of the dignitaries who attended the rally included the Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko; the National Chairman, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus; a former National Chairman, Ahmadu Ali; Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State, Dr. Kelechi Igwe: the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisah Metuh; and Senator Smart Adeyemi.
Fayose accused the state APC governorship candidate, Prince Abubabakar Audu, of fraud, and wondered where Buhari was when the APC cleared the former governor of Kogi State to be the APC governorship candidate.
“It is laughable when the APC national body cleared Abubakar Audu to contest the governorship election when he is facing trail in the Lokoja High Court and in Abuja. Where was President Buhari? Can he claim that he is not in the know?,” he said.
Fayose alleged that Audu has had many corrupt charges against him in the last 12 years.
He urged President Buhari to examine thoroughly his close appointees, aides and party members like other people, saying the nation belongs to Nigerians.
The governor said, “The APC-led government only dillies-dally around the challenges confronting the nation; the issue of Boko Haram and the dwindling economic situation became worse in the last six months of the Buhari administration.
“This government has only achieved a lot in the area of chasing shadow, making the nation worse for the people.”
Fayose also alleged that the Federal Government a few day ago released N12.5bn to the Kogi State APC to enable the party perpetrate rigging and win the November 21 governorship election.
According to Fayose, the APC cannot win in Kogi State as the party is not strong in the state.
He further alleged that the N12.5bn was released from the Treasury Single Account championed by Buhari’s administration. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Deletehe is senseless and useless dictator, but he face the dance sooner than later.
ReplyDeleteThere can never be a successful Democracy without Dictatorship in a place like Nigeria. PDP had spoiled the country through corruption and impurities.
ReplyDeleteSomeone like Fayose does not fit to live in an organized society.
When the truth is told it appear bitter in the mouth and hear of those that it concerns and as well those benefit from the evil of the regime concerned. Truth will always shine in midst of darkness, take it or leave It.
ReplyDeleteWhy won't we face the truth, what is fuel pump price doing as high as 200.00 per litre?
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to his promises, on or b4 the last regime, fuel price never went as high as a 150.00, whatever happened to our dollar naira rate. Nothing is working with this man buhari. It's a shame he can't do his promised magics.
When a people decided to buy lies at all costs, even when the chief marketer was one Mr Lai, what else do we expect as the consequences?
ReplyDeleteEffects of refusing the truth may be damaging, even when speaker is gentle. I do not expect us to start complaining now that the regime is bearly six months old. The days of our complaining are still far ahead. We have seen nothing yet. We will have to endure, my country people. Do not use your energies on complaining now, preserve them for what is yet to come. My prayer is that God will give us the grace to survive this government in Jesus name. Amen.
Fellow sincere and patriotic Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteEven though a man has the right to express himself in which ever way he wants just as Governor Fayose is busy doing. However, I am of the strong opinion that we should not be dignifying is stupidity by commenting on is rather myopic and senselessly ignorant statements.
The more I read statements attributed to Governor Fayose, the more it reminds me of a highly irresponsible man I knew in my younger days. The man in question was always drunk and making senseless statements just like these ones. Governor Fayose statements are nothing but Beer Parlour jests and talks. It should not be treated with any sense of seriousness by anyone.
It's really a shame that someone like this should ever be in the Corridors of Power let alone be a State Governor.
May God complete the deliverance of Nigeria from utter backwardness in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
May the Lord continue to frustrate and reduce to oblivion all the known and secret enemies of Nigeria in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.
May the Lord erase all the known and secret enemies of Nigeria like human fart in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen and Amen.
