Buhari Should Be Held Responsible For Rivers Rerun Violence – Fayose

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has blamed the President Muhammadu Buhari for the bloodshed in the house of Assembly, House of Representatives and the Senate rerun polls in Rivers.

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said President Muhammadu Buhari must be held accountable for the killings and loss of lives in Rivers State rerun elections.

He said “Members of Buhari’s party, All Progressives Congress (APC) are emboldened to unleash violence on the people of Rivers State and other states in Nigeria because they know that the president won’t lift a finger provided his party members are the ones perpetrating evil.”
