Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose has
described the raging controversies
between the Presidency and the National
Assembly over the 2016 Budget as a
confirmation of his position that
President Buhari was clueless and
incompetent, saying; “Nigerians should
expect more blunders like this until they
send Buhari back to Daura in 2019.”
The governor, who said it was now obvious that
the President and his All Progressives Congress
(APC) only wanted power desperately without
the wherewithal to govern, added that; “I warned
Nigerians of the consequences of electing an
octogenarian as president and with the
international embarrassment that this budget
crisis has become, I have been vindicated.”
According to a statement issued on Tuesday by
his Special Assistant on Pubic Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor
said; “It is obvious that there is total
disconnection between the President and his
cabinet members as many of the ministers don’t
even have access to him probably because the
President spend most of his time resting as a
result of his old age.”
He said; “The reality is that the President is
challenged by age, exposure and ability. He did
not read the budget proposal that he presented
to the National Assembly and this should be a
lesson for those who clamoured for a Buhari’s
presidency that no man can give what he does
not have.
“The question is; can a minister present
supplementary budget to the National Assembly
and can the National Assembly act on budget
proposal submitted by a minister? “It is
shameful that after blaming former President
Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) for close to one year, the presidency
is now blaming the National Assembly for its
inability to prepare a common budget.”
The governor commended the National Assembly
for exposing the lies and hypocrisy of the
presidency, saying it was shameful that
President Buhari and his men could blame the
National Assembly for their incompetence.
He called on the National Assembly not to
succumb to blackmail and intimidation from the
Presidency, saying that the way and manner the
Presidency was going about blackmailing and
intimidating other arms of government,
especially the judiciary should worry lovers of
democracy and good governance in the country.
The governor, who declared that Nigeria will no
longer be ruled by octogenarians, said;
“Nigerians must have now come to terms that I
warned them that Buhari is too old to govern a
country like Nigeria.”
