Buhari Govt Worse Than Military Dictatorship, Says Fayose

A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose ,has lampooned the administration of President Muhammadu Bihari for its various attempts to allegedly gag the press.

Fayose, who said this in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle said he and others warned Nigerians against voting for Buhari. He said the selfish and privileged ones mobilised the masses to support Buhari because of their selfish interests.

He said it was worrisome that the same set of people who used the media to spread all kinds of lies against the then ruling government could turn around to stop the press from airing criticisms against their government.

The former governor said the current government of President Muhammadu Buhari was worse than miilitary dictatorship.

The tweets read, “Sad that those who used the media to spread all kinds of lies while seeking power are afraid of a free press now that they are in power.

“You don’t want Nigerians to speak against President; governors,  lawmakers and others who are like their servants.

“Now, it is becoming clear that the freedom we enjoyed under military govermments, we can’t enjoy in a democracy.

“Unfortunately,  when some of us who saw all these coming were warning Nigerians,  the selfish ones whose only interest was to grab power turned deaf ears.

“Now, the consequences are on all Nigerians and it will definitely get worse. May God return Nigeria to the path of greatness.”
