Buhari Old Enough To Father You, Presidency Slams Fayose

In a statement credited to Babafemi Ojudu, Presidential Adviser on Political Matters, the Presidency regarded the governor’s statement as being disrespectful to a person old enough be his father.

Fayose had called for President Buhari’s resignation, saying “‎His absence allows others to suppress and oppress others and that means he is allowing others ‎to suppress their fellow human beings.

“There are many governments in one and they are clueless. ‎ We need an active president going by our numerous challenges. ‎How long will Nigerians wait for an incapacitated president‎?

“We cannot wait again for somebody to hold us to ransom. ‎I don’t have any bad blood against Buhari, Osinbajo has no powers without the president. He owes us the duty to tell us the state ‎of his health,” the governor had said.

But Ojudu replied the Fayose, saying while others are busy praying for Buhari, the governor goes about calling for the president’s resignation.

He further accused the governor of deliberately demolishing filling stations belonging to members of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti.

“He (Fayose) has been quarrelling with everybody. Even in Ekiti, he is demolishing filling stations belonging to the opposition,” Mr. Ojudu, a former senator from Ekiti, stated.

“He has always been insulting the president and disparaging a man old enough to be his father.

“He is portraying Ekiti in a bad light. We are not like that. Is he the only governor, why is it that he is the only one making so much noise?”

“Right now, fuel is not being sold in Ekiti because he is busy demolishing filling stations under one guise of the other,” he continued.

“People are buying fuel from neighbouring states. People are suffering, they are tired of his ways.

“Go and tell him to concentrate on governance and to stop insulting the president,” said the presidential adviser.
