Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has
likened administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari to that of Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, a former president of Nigeria, where
the rule of law was not respected.
He said it was no surprise to him being that
they both have same military background, This
Day reports.
Speaking at the confluence stadium in Lokoja
during the grand finale of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) rally for its Kogi state
governorship candidate, Capt. Idris Wada, the
governor said the Buhari-led administration has
no iota of respect for human rights.
“If you look and search the style of Buhari’s
administration and compare it with that of Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo, who ruled the country
between 1999 and 2007, the two administrations
have a resemblance of military dictatorship,” he
said. D
Fayose claimed that Buhari only concentrated
on chasing members of the PDP over alleged
corruption and his only achievement was
shadow-chasing.
“The APC-led government only goes around the
challenges confronting the nation, the issue of
Boko Haram, and the dwindling economic situation
became worse in the last six months of the
Buhari administration. government has only
achieved a lot in the area of chasing shadows,
making the nation worse for the people.
“It is laughable when the APC national body
cleared Abubakar Audu to contest the
governorship election when he is facing trail in
the Lokoja High Court and in Abuja. Where was
President Buhari? Can he claim that he is not in
the know?” he asked.
The governor also accused the federal
government of releasing the sum of N12.5
billion from the Treasury Single Account (TSA)
as donation to the All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Kogi state to enable the party
perpetrate rigging in the upcoming election.
He called on President Buhari to carefully look
around himself before going after other people,
pointing out that every citizen had equal right
and the nation belongs to Nigerians.
Governor Fayose in a statement on Sunday,
November 15, said he did not believe in the
TSA and vowed not to partake in the meeting
scheduled between the federal government and
the state governors. According to him, the TSA
policy was a fraud against the Nigerian people.
However, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the minister of
information and culture said the president has
unblemished reputation for integrity, due
process, transparency and the rule of law. He
dismissed the allegations making the rounds
that Buhari was funding the Kogi elections with
the TSA.
