Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose has said that he criticizes President Muhammadu Buhari because he believes that at 73, Buhari lacks the intellectual capacity to rule Nigeria.
Fayose, who was speaking at an event organized by the Oyo State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists
to celebrate the World Press Freedom Day in Ibadan on Tuesday, said that
the country has never had it so bad in the last 12 months of Buhari’s
leadership.
People say that I abuse Buhari, I am not abusing him because he is like my grandfather but I know the history. Eighty per cent of people that voted for Buhari in the South-West did not know him. They are between 18 and 40. They voted because they wanted change desperately and I agree with them. He left government 32 years ago so they did not experience his rule.Today, the Peoples Democratic Party is no longer in government so they should stop blaming the PDP. They told us that dollars would become one to one with the naira. But where is that today? The regime of fuel subsidy is gone and we now have food subsidy. Queues are back at petrol stations. Whatever I say is divine. The next thing to happen will be the removal of the Kogi State governor. I have not lost a battle in my life and when I lost one, I came back to win.We have never had it so bad like in the last 12 months; electricity has gone to zero and we no longer have light in our houses. I am here to tell Nigerians that we are in the wrong direction because you cannot give what you don’t have. There is a time to retire because of the diminishing return on the functionality of the brain. At 75, my mother can do little.
Fayose also criticized the
anti-corruption war by Buhari, accusing him of being biased. “When you
want to deal with corruption, do it wholeheartedly. Don’t say because
this person has now joined the All Progressives Congress, he is now a
saint. When I was supporting the ACN, they gave me many titles. Now that
I am no longer with them, they see me as an enemy,” he said.
