The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele
Fayose, has urged politicians that brought President Muhammadu Buhari to seek
God’s forgiveness for the untold hardship in the country.
He lamented that Nigeria’s
economy had become worse under the All Progressives Congress-led Federal
Government, which he noted had no solution to the myriads of problems facing
the country.
The governor spoke on Monday at a
meeting of the Osoko Mass Movement attended by representatives of labour
unions, civil servants and public institutions in the state.
He said, “People that voted
Buhari must seek repentance. People thought he was coming to make a difference
but he has caused more economic hardship. We are being ruled by fiat.
Unemployment is second to none. The Transparency International said corruption
had become worse among Nigerians.”
The governor urged the people to
vote for a well educated candidate in the election and not to sell their votes.
He said his deputy, Prof. Kolapo
Olusola was the most educated and suitably qualified aspirant to rule the
state.
“If you say I’m not educated now
I have presented a professor. We are not supposed to retrogress, we should
progress. A professor is higher than doctor and supervises him. By all standard
I’m presenting the most suitably qualified aspirant.
“Our interest was somewhere else
but his name kept reappearing. Ekiti needs continuity, I have put in my best in
the circumstance and I know he will do it better,” he said.
Fayose said the APC government
had not benefitted the Ekiti people in anyway despite having a former governor
of the state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, as the Minister of Mines and Steel
Development.
He said, “There are many mineral
deposits in Ekiti which have been left untapped despite our son being the
Minister of Mines and Steel Development.
“Buhari spent N40b searching for
crude oil in the North; where is Fayemi looking?”
