Resign if you love Nigeria, Fayose tells Buhari
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has urged
President Muhammadu Buhari, to resign if he truly loves the country, as
ill-heath is not allowing the President to effectively discharge his
constitutional duties.
Fayose, who addressed
newsmen in Lagos on Tuesday, said being an avowed corruption fighter, Buhari is
now under moral burden to save Nigeria from needless stagnation arising from
his heath challenges that have impacted negatively on his performance.
Ayodele Fayose The governor said fighting
corruption was not limited to discovering large
sums of money here and there, but doing the right thing at the right time. He
opined that taking a bow when necessary was also an indication of being morally
upright. The governor, who appraised the two years of the Buhari
administration, said the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government had
failed to deliver on its promises. ”So far, the APC-led
Federal Government has been a government of misadventure and Nigerians are
worse for it.
They say they are fighting corruption but are
shielding corrupt elements within their fold. Members of the opposition defect
to the APC for protection. Fighting corruption
is more than discovering huge sums of money all over the place, with nobody
being traced to be the owners, moral corruption too is bad. ”He can do us the
great help by resigning. Not resigning
bothers on his integrity. His absence allows
others to suppress and oppress others and that means he is allowing others
to suppress their fellow human beings.There
are many governments in one and they are clueless.
We need an active president going by our numerous
challenges. How long will Nigerians wait for an
incapacitated president,”? ”We cannot wait again
for somebody to hold us to ransom.
I don’t have any bad blood
against Buhari, but Osinbajo has no powers without the president. He owes us
the duty to tell us the state of his health,” the governor said.
On the performance of the economy, Fayose said it had gone from bad to worse.
He noted that the middle class had been wiped off.
”There is no middle
class any more .Economic indicators
are not cherry at last.
They borrow money on daily basis and committing
funds that ought to accrue to all tiers of government to servicing the loans,”
he added. On the much-touted rescue of Chibok girls. Fayose reiterated that the
whole set up was a blackmail against former President Goodluck Jonathan,adding
that one day, the true story would be revealed.
On insecurity in Nigeria,
Fayose said more people had been killed by insurgents and herdsmen than in any
other period in the history of Nigeria. He wondered why no Fulani herdsmen had
been arrested and prosecuted despite the atrocities perpetrated across the
country.
