Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has counselled the people of Ghana against changing President John Mahama in the December 7 presidential election.
The governor said the people should be mindful of making the same mistake made by Nigerians in the 2015 presidential election by voting for change, which has brought hunger, sufferings and economic recession to the country, such that even the entire West African sub-region is being affected.
Fayose, according to a statement made available by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, on Sunday made this call while playing host to some men of God from Ghana on Saturday.
He said “By buying into the All Progressives Congress message of change, Nigerians are now facing a kind of hunger and suffering never experienced in the country in the last 30 years and Ghanaians must not fall into that kind of trap.”
“Ghanaians should not succumb to the deceit of the opposition party that are calling for a change of government. Rather, they should return the incumbent President, John Mahama, who has no doubt done creditably well to deserve a re-election.
“Ghanaians should know that the change in Nigeria brought hunger, suffering, disregard for the rule of law as well as arrest and detention of Nigerians without trial and be mindful of those preaching change to them.”
Fayose said the situation in Ghana at present was similar to that of Nigeria.
“Like President Muhammadu Buhari, opposition party, New Patriotic Party’s candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, has contested the presidency two times. This is the third time he is contesting. He is also 74 year-old.
“In Nigeria, change is synonymous with economic recession that is even getting to the level of depression. Even majority of those who brought the change are now regretting it.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteYou have come again. (Otuntibere)
You said “Ghanaians should not succumb to the deceit of the opposition party that are calling for a change of government. Rather, they should return the incumbent President, John Mahama, who has no doubt done creditably well to deserve a re-election.
The question begging answer now is did GEJ Perform well to deserve re-election? If he had i bet you the "good" people of Nigeria would have gladly re-elected him. If we are to be sincere with ourselves and not being biased we all know that the present problems facing this country right now didnt all start with PMB. Years of Waste, Stealing with Impunity and refusal to diversify the economy are the main cause of our present predicament. Nigeria is a mono economy Naton, we rely solely on crude oil. N now that crude oil has become like water we are faced with the mess at hand.
Ayooo if i may ask you, how far with your state? What are you to grow your IGR? "Niente" Rather You are advising Ghanians on who to vote for.
