BEVERLY HILLS, May 31, (THEWILL) – The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, has berated Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State over his call for the resignation of the President, who has been in the UK on medical vacation since May 7.
Ojudu, who had represented an Ekiti senatorial district in the National Assembly, said the governor’s tirade against the President was portraying Ekiti state in bad light, stressing that Fayose is disrespecting a man old enough to be his father.
THEWILL recalls that Fayose had on Tuesday called for the resignation of the president on grounds of his ill health. He advised Buhari to resign if he truly loves the country, asserting that Nigerians cannot continue to wait for an incapacitated President.
In his reaction, Ojudu wondered why the governor of his state would call for the President’s resignation at a time all Nigerians are praying for him.
“He (Fayose) has been quarrelling with everybody. Even in Ekiti, he is demolishing filling stations belonging to the opposition.
“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?” he asked.
The presidential aide claimed that Fayose had failed in governance, and has plunged his people into hardship and poverty.
“Right now, fuel is not being sold in Ekiti because he is busy demolishing filling stations under one guise of the other.
“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,” Premium Times reports Ojudu as saying.
