Nigerians Will Painfully Endure Buhari Till 2023 – Fayose

Former Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has expressed worry about the security situation in the country.

The former governor said despite the massive killings daily recorded and mass kidnapping in many parts of the country, the people would have to endure the agony until 2023 when another presidential election would hold.

He said this on his Twitter handle late Sunday night.

Fayose said there was nothing wrong with Nigeria as a country but said President Muhammadu Buhari was the mistake the people made.

The tweet read, ” Nothing is wrong with Nigeria as a country and Nigerians as a people. Buhari is the national mishap and the Jonah in our boat.

“This insecurity is one too many and painfully, Nigerians will have to endure till 2023. I pray God keeps us till then.”

Fayose tweeted the same day Ahmed Gulak, a former presidential spokesman was shot dead by gunmen in Owerrj, the Imo State capital.

About 200 students were also reportedly abducted in a school in Niger State the same day.

Fayose, who is a leader in the Peoples Democratic Party, had on April 25 in a series of similar tweets said he was aware that Nigerians were already impatient to send the All Progressives Congress government packing in 2023.

The tweets read, “With killings in the North, South, East & West, it is certain that Nigerians must be impatient to send this APC govt packing in 2023,having made the mistake of bringing this clueless people in 2015. In fact, waiting bw now & 2023 will remain a pain in the heart of Nigerians.

“Those ruling Nigeria, particularly at the federal are acting as if the country is about the government and them, forgetting that the government is about the country and its people.

“It is painful that Nigeria is being governed by people who were at one time nominated as Boko Haram negotiator while their lieutenants are those who have openly kicked against military action against Boko Haram terrorists & rejected its categorisation as a terrorist organisation.

“In the last 3 days, over 300 Nigerians have been killed across the country, with several others in captivity,and this is still not enough for President Buhari & his men to wear sackcloth and cover themselves with ashes.Rather, they are seen making merry as if nothing has happened.”
