Fayose advises Buhari on where to flag off his campaign

The immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to flag off his campaign in either Zamfara or Borno States.

Fayose wondered why Buhari would abandon the crisis-ridden states and opt for Akwa Ibom, a state, according to him, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has made peaceful.


The former Governor, in a tweet on Thursday afternoon, also accused the President of making just a phone call to Zamfara, a state which has been the hotbed of killings in recent times.

Fayose said Buhari should have chosen Zamfara, Yobe or Borno for his campaign flag-off.

He tweeted:

Nigerians are being killed in Zamfara, President Buhari could only make "phone calls". But he is going to Akwa Ibom, a state made peaceful by the PDP Govt of @MrUdomEmmanuel to flag off his campaign. Why can't he do the flag off in Zamfara, Yobe or Borno?
