Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of putting the future of Nigeria at risk through his actions.
The was quoted as saying this in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, on Sunday.
“Our President, through his actions and inactions is destroying everything that makes Nigeria a country and well-meaning Nigerians must stand-up to be counted in the crusade to save the country from going under,” he said.
The governor also said the release of N350bn by the Federal Government for capital projects will not help the Nigerian economy considering the challenges facing the country.
He called on the government to stop deceiving Nigerians and admit that Nigeria under Buhari had moved from economic recession to economic depression.
Fayose also called on the President to realise that Nigerians would not measure his government on the basis of what his predecessors failed to do, but on what he did or neglected to do between May 29, 2016 and May 29, 2019.
He accused the President of discouraging foreign investment in the country by calling Nigerians corrupt people.
“Which foreign investor will invest his money in a country of dishonest people? Who made investors to leave Nigeria if not President Buhari, who created atmosphere of economic and political instability in the country by his acts of nepotism and vindictiveness?”
He said instead of blaming his predecessors for the state of the nation, Buhari should focus on solving the country’s problems.
“No nation has ever reached greatness by their leaders engaging in blame game, nepotism and vengeance as being done by the president and his All Progressives Congress government,” he said.
He added, “Like I said before, the main issue confronting Nigerians now is hunger and hunger does not speak the language of politics. It is therefore no longer about politics; it is about preventing hunger from killing Nigerians.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Enter your comment...Mr. Governor leave this old man alone and face reality of life. This country has gone astrayed and she needs a Saviour Who will bring her back to where she missed it all. When God is angry both leaders and the led will behave unseemingly. You are shouting about the symptoms but what caused the symptoms you did not bother to find out. We need prayers sir
ReplyDeleteNobody listens to you again because you are destructive criticism. Somebody you never believe will complete one year in office before he dies due to age, so what are you saying? The blood of the North East citizens you people 'shared' (Madam P) is enough to disown you and your party if it still exist forever.
ReplyDeleteWhay kind of childish motor park comment is that? Empty brains are not needed here please. This is a very serious matter.
ReplyDeleteLet us look unto GOD and not man! Nigeria has been in recession even before APC took over, was not clearly seen. If all d past presidents had been just, make more capital based budgets n implementation, I am sure we would have gone far n blessed as a country.

ReplyDeletePMB has destroyed this country. FINISH!!!!
ReplyDeleteI presume those commenting are APC loyalists. Watch the trends!
ReplyDeleteTruth is always bitter. In developed climes Buhari would have thrown in the towel, but here we are blinded by ethnic, religious and other negative primordial sentiments. Our only solution is to restructure this country to encourage competition, remove laziness and free money, and fasten development
ReplyDeleteNigerians has fed up....

ReplyDeletePls leave politics aside and face the reality on Ground, i don't konw why ppl took sides in the face of reality all bcus the president is from there region and they will continue to die in silence, hunger, and poverty. Don't attack his personality but rather attack his comment, i see nothing wrong from fayose statement.
ReplyDeletePeople are dying of hunger that is the truth, Fayose has said it all, i don't know why some people fail to say the truth because of their selfish reasons.
ReplyDeleteGood morning APC change , How are you Mr President Buhari ? Your in power now , can't you talk again ? You knows everything, Stupid man , Who was casting other government now you cannot talk . look at Nigeria condition now and some stupid people still supporting you .
ReplyDeleteWas it Mr President you called stupid? Pray in whatever religion you belong for forgiveness. God forbids us to insult our leaders. Ayo Fayose will never even use that "S" word.
DeleteCan you ever give what you don't have to people? NO! You only give what you have. PMB is such a man. He does not have anything to give us. So why the cries? Lets all try to endure the situation till 2016. Though some of his allies are benefitting immensely from this mess. Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteYou will certainly endure till 2016.
