Describing the raging controversies between the Presidency and the National Assembly over the 2016 Budget as confirmation of his position on President Buhari, Fayose said “Nigerians should expect more blunders like this until 2019.”
The governor, who said it was now obvious that the President and his All Progressives Congress, APC, only wanted power desperately without the wherewithal to govern, adding that; “I warned Nigerians of the consequences of electing an octogenarian as president and with the international embarrassment that this budget crisis has become, I have been vindicated.”
According to a statement issued yesterday by his Special Assistant on Pubic Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said; “It is obvious that there is total disconnect between the President and his cabinet members as many of the ministers don’t even have access to him probably because the President spend most of his time resting as a result of his old age.
“The reality is that the President is challenged by age, exposure and ability. He did not read the budget proposal he presented to the National Assembly and this should be a lesson for those who clamoured for a Buhari’s presidency that no man can give what he does not have.
“The question is; can a minister present supplementary budget to the National Assembly and can the National Assembly act on budget proposal submitted by a minister?
“It is shameful that after blaming former President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for close to one year, the presidency is now blaming the National Assembly for its inability to prepare a common budget.”
The governor commended the National Assembly for exposing the lies of the presidency, saying it was shameful that President Buhari and his men could blame the National Assembly for their incompetence.
