The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said he will not stop attacking the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The governor, who said he owed nobody any apology for exposing the alleged hypocrisy of the APC leaders, accused them of placing personal interests above national interest.
Fayose, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, was reacting to criticisms that had trailed his campaign for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party and his continuous attacks on Buhari.
He, however, said he had nothing personal against Buhari.
According to him, the APC has not only packaged lies and tried to foist such on Nigerians, it has also compromised the Independent National Electoral Commission to rig the election earlier scheduled for February 14.
He said, “I remember then as the ad hoc chairman of the PDP committee to shop for the presidential candidate to replace former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a crop of suitable, brilliant, healthy and competent northern politicians in the PDP were shortlisted by me for Obasanjo to pick from, but he overruled the list and asked me to contact the late Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua because he preferred him.
“In fairness to the late President, he objected to the offer on health grounds, but Obasanjo insisted that he must be the President.”
Fayose wondered why Buhari could not appear at the APC organised rally in London on Wednesday if indeed he was not on hospital bed.
He said the much-talked about Chatham House lecture was a face-saving measure to cover the true position of Buhari’s health, adding that most of those attacking him were doing so because he stuck out his neck to expose the lies of the APC.
The governor said after he proved to the world that Buhari was interviewed in Abuja and not in London, the APC had not been able to prove him wrong.
Run your mouth while you can, for your shame is around the corner
ReplyDeleteYou must be a fool, who only talks without listening for feedback. Guardian Newspapers has replied you, owning up to the mistake about the picture upon which you foolishly went on a fruitless journey to Abuja in Transcorp hotel. That is the kind of leadership we get from PDP, wasting the people's money on grossly irrelevant matters, or how does that benefit the state (Ekiti State- Land of Stomach Infrastructure) you were foisted upon to rule?
