The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti state has lashed out at Governor Ayodele Fayose for accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of being the major problem in Nigeria.
The party said Fayose is always criticizing the president because he is afraid of his impending day of reckoning when he would face the law for alleged official corruption, The Nation reports. This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday, September 20, by the party’s spokesman, Taiwo Olatubosun.
“If today Buhari drops his anti-corruption war, Fayose will throw a lavish party to celebrate an open cheque to Ekiti treasury.
“Again, Fayose’s name rang around the world when he masterminded the greatest electoral fraud in history, mobilising the military for treason to menace the opposition, compromising INEC by illegally obtaining its sensitive materials and drawing on the nation’s defence vote to manipulate his election in what is Nigeria’s greatest electoral blues known as Ekitigate,” the statement read in part.
The party said more illicit wealth of Fayose’s associates in the looting of Nigeria is being exposed and that is why he is always criticizing Buhari.
“The greatest fear that always rattles the ‘fearless’ Fayose is whenever a looter is uncovered by the Federal Government because he knows what is coming for him after the EFCC traced billions of illegal funds to his frozen accounts,” Olatubosun said.
The APC said the governor has continued to prove that he and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were a threat to democracy.
According to the party, Fayose’s records in the practice of democracy cast a blot on Nigeria’s integrity as a democracy hub.
Olatubosun recalled that the governor had allegedly attacked some judges with thugs and tore their coats while court records in the Chief Judge’s office were torn into shreds and windows and doors of the court destroyed. President Buhari has been heavily criticised for the state of Nigeria’s economy and one of his greatest critics is Fayose.
He recently asked Nigerians to pray for President Buhari and his administration and ask God to give them the inspiration, wisdom and knowledge to lead.
