The immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has again advised President Muhammadu Buhari to face governance and stop complaining.
“When he was seeking votes of Nigerians, he never said he was coming to complain. Rather, he promised to fix what he claimed to have identified as the problems,” Fayose said.
The former governor reminded the President that his time was almost up, adding that he (Buhari) has spent three and half years blaming his predecessors while inflicting
security and economic crises on the country.
Reacting to the President’s statement that he “inherited a mind-boggling mismanaged Nigeria,” Fayose stated through his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka that “it is no longer funny that a president who assumed office three and half years ago is still
complaining about how he met the country instead of Nigerians having feelings of how well he has solved the problems he claimed that he had capacity to solve.
“He should stop singing the same song of lamentation that he has been singing since 2015 and learn from his colleague in Ghana, who hit the ground running immediately he assumed office.”
Fayose, who advised the President to face the reality of a failed tenure and be prepared to leave office next year, added that “only a Leader, who lacks competence and is challenged by knowledge and exposure will blame his predecessors for over three years.
“Nigerians of mostly below 40 years who voted for the President in 2015 did so because they never experienced him as a Military Head of State. Now that they have seen that he does not have the required capacity to govern a country like Nigeria, they are eager to vote him out.”
The former governor also charged Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders to put everything into the 2019 elections to rescue Nigerians from the present state of anguish occasioned by the directionless APC government.
“Today, Nigeria has become the ‘Poverty Capital’ of the world. God forbid, a Buhari’s second term will turn Nigeria to a republic of poverty where people will be running to other neighbouring countries to feed. PDP must therefore work very hard to save the country from going down completely,” Fayose said.
