You’re running a deceitful govt, Fayose tells Buhari

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described the last six months of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration as that of “deceitful change.”

According to Fayose, the President is destroying the image of Nigeria and its people for cheap international recognition.

The governor also described the claim by the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, that the ministry did not have details of any fund recovered from officials of the immediate past government of Dr Goodluck Jonathan as a vindication of his position that the president was not saying the truth.

He maintained that Nigerians must ask the president where the so-called looted fund was paid and who made the payments.

Fayose, according to a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said “If the Ministry of Finance is not aware of any recovered fund, it is either those who purportedly made the refund did so by loading cash into Ghana-Must-Go bags and dropping the bags in the President’s bedroom or the fund was lodged into the Central Bank without records.

“The only areas President Buhari has recorded tremendous achievements are areas of political persecution, disobedience of court order and desperate bid to turn the country to a one-party state as evident in the Kogi State election, which the Independent National Electoral Commission, headed by Mahmood Yakubu staged managed and muddled up.”

He added, “In the last six months, a section of the judiciary has been so openly manipulated by the Buhari’s administration such that different judgements were given in similar cases, with the Peoples Democratic Party getting negative judgements while the All Progressives Congress secured positive judgements in cases with similar facts and evidences.”

Fayose said it was painful that Nigerians were being made to suffer great hardships from fuel scarcity, while thousands of people were still being killed in the North by Boko Haram, and Chibok Girls were still not found.

He added, “Power supply has dropped, and above all; the unity of the country is being threatened as admitted by the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, yet all our President does is junketing around the globe.

“Honestly, this change promised by President Buhari and his party, APC is nothing other than ‘one chance change’ and this has been attested to even by highly respected international news media.

“For instance, Bloomberg, in a report two days ago said hopes have fizzled in Buhari’s ability to turn around Nigeria and that money that flowed into stocks and bonds in Nigeria, which McKinsey & Co. says could become one of the world’s 20 biggest economies by 2030, are now fleeing as growth prospects diminish along with oil prices.”
