Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has hailed the international community, especially the United States of America and the United Kingdom for joining lovers of democracy in Nigeria to speak out against the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Buhari's use of State security apparatus to oppress opposition.
He called on the British Government to investigate the allegation of the use of British foreign aid given to Nigeria to help combat Boko Haram terrorists to fund a witch-hunt against opposition politicians with a view to preventing continuous use of fund belonging to the country wrongly.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Governor Fayose said the international community must focus attention on Nigeria under President Buhari, saying; "rights of Nigerians are now being trampled upon with impunity."
In its report, the United States Department of States, accused the Nigerian police, DSS and the military of gross abuse of power which include citizens brutality, arbitrary detention,bribery among other scandals Also, the United Kingdom based Telegraph newspaper published this week that hundreds of millions of pounds of British foreign aid given to Nigeria to help combat Boko Haram terrorists was instead being used to fund a witch-hunt against opposition politicians.
Governor Fayose, who is presently in Guangzhou, China to attend the 119th China Import and Export Fair otherwise known as the Canton Fair between April 14 and 19, said the United Kingdom Telegraph newspaper was right in its report that the Buhari’s government was using British aid money to target his political opponents, particularly through anti corruption agencies ans the Department of State Services (DSS).
He said only the international community could help prevail on President Buhari to respect the rule of law and stop ruling Nigeria like a military dictator. The governor described the United States Department of States report as another vindication of his position on the Buhari-led government's abuse of the rights of Nigerians, saying; "everything I predicted about Buhari is coming to pass and the international community must assist the country to sustain democracy."

Mad man
ReplyDelete£400 million has been given to Nigeria previous Administration annually to combat Book Haram was diverted by whom? UK to assist Nigeria present administration with £32 million to fight insurgency, therfore Telegraph is not aiming to Buhari present Govt rather than the previous Fayose and Jonathan Govt. Don't mislead public
ReplyDeleteU too mad,mumu man
ReplyDeleteNuisance barker from Ekiti..... time will tell!
ReplyDeleteMad governor of mad state
ReplyDeleteYou anonymous 2:10am are mad and not Ekiti state. If you have anything with Fayose face him not the pple of Ekiti state. stupid comments.
DeleteIt's obvious the UK & US aren't pleased with the development between Nigeria & China. This is because they stand to lose.
ReplyDeleteAnd quite annoying is the fact that the 'mad' governor of Ekiti state is really getting out of hand...Please what is delaying the ekitigate scandal? This man need to be caged asap!
It's shameless that a governor who won an election by gross misconduct is still running his mouth like a loose tap.
He has immunity
DeleteOk. Hopefully they will use that to divide nigeria and create biafra.
DeleteIt is obvious the US and the UK are not happy with our economic relationship with China. No matter how hard they try, they will not be able to discredit this government because God is on our side as a nation. He will not leave us nor forsake us for the sake of the elects.
DeleteBaba Fayose you the moral conscience of Nigeria now. Feni Aribisala is another and both of you know how to protect the interest of common people.May God continue to bless and protect you people. Don't mind the Buharideens. They are blinded by sentiments.
ReplyDeleteObviously, the use of dss and state security apparatus to harass the opposition is not referring to the Jonathan's administration. So don't use your comments to try to confuse people. UK couldn't have given the Jonathan administration millions of pounds and deny it the opportunity to buy arms to tackle Boko Haram
ReplyDeleteMr Gominina Ekiti. don't mislead us pls about the UK fund sir. we can read and write . E seun. ask ur Co looters Jonathan and Co what u guys did with the money
ReplyDeleteIf Buhari is indeed fighting corruption as he promised, Fayose won't be talking anyhow.
ReplyDeleteD man is making a lot of sense, just dat some ppl wen fed wit shit d still happily collect and pretend it's cake. Dis present administration is full of lies and deceit and Fayose is trying 2 open our eyes 2 it. But ppl who are blind can never see. Fayose if d refuse 2 see wat we are seeing pls leave dem 2 drown as 4 me God's by my syd I'll never sink wit dat failure.
ReplyDeleteAnd what sense do you obviously think a loser can ever make?
DeleteThe man has been openly implicated in the Ekitigate scandal and ought to have been picked up by now.
His noise of lately shows that of a drowning man looking for who to go down with him...he surely knows he can't escape this.

Fayose's comments in recent times are full of partisan politics and hatred. I am not surprised about his outburst because that is the logo of a tout. He never won Ekiti Election
