Kayode Fayemi, governor of Ekiti, says the Buhari
administration can still fix the nation’s security challenges in 17 months.
The Nigeria’s general election will be held on February 18,
2023.
Speaking in an interview on Arise News on Saturday, Fayemi
said tackling insecurity will change the popular opinion about the Buhari
administration within the time left of the tenure.
“If we can destroy that monster of insecurity, the opinion
in the country will change dramatically. If we decide to go after these people
without to much attachment to human rights and issues that may come up from the
international communities. these people are not ghosts,” he said.
“We know where the
bandits are, so we can neutralise them and then begin to have the opportunity.
It may not be completely finished under this government, but you can do that
part of it under this administration.
“Neutralise all these elements that are responsible for the
chaos that they have thrown our nation into. Unless there are people within the
security institutions who are benefiting from the war economy itself, there is
no question that they know what to do and we can fix it in 17 months.”
When asked about his presidential interest, the chairman of
the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) said his concern is on finishing well as the
governor of Ekiti state.
He said the country is at a critical juncture, and political
stakeholders must rise above partisan interest to salvage the nation.
“There are range of factors to put in place, the first is
finishing well here. This will put me on the pedestal for the presidential
interest,” he said.
“But there is no doubt that it is not about running or not
running for president that Nigeria requires at this point.
“I think we need a collective position to save and rescue
our country from agitations, all these resentment in and around the country. We
need to come together and help president Buhari finish well, that is the task
of the moment; not who get to be president. In due course that would happen.”
