Governor of Ekiti state, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has
said that he will not stop attacking the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Muhammadu Buhari.
Fayose, who spoke through his Chief Press
Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti on
Thursday, said he owed nobody any apology for
exposing “the alleged hypocrisy of the APC
leaders.”
He also accused them of placing personal interests
above national interest
The governor, who said he had nothing personal
against the APC candidate was reacting to
criticisms that had trailed his campaign for the re-
election of President Goodluck Jonathan of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and his continuous
attacks on Buhari.
Fayose said the APC has not only packaged lies
and tried to deceive Nigerians, it had also
compromised the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, to rig the election earlier
scheduled for February 14 in their favour.
He said, “I remember then as the ad hoc chairman
of the PDP committee to shop for the presidential
candidate to replace former President Olusegun
Obasanjo, a crop of suitable, brilliant, healthy and
competent northern politicians in the PDP were
shortlisted by me for Obasanjo to pick from, but he
overruled the list and asked me to contact the late
Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua because he preferred him.
“In fairness to the late President, he objected to
the offer on health grounds, but Obasanjo insisted
that he must be the President.”
Fayose also questioned why Buhari could not
appear at the APC organised rally in London on
Wednesday if indeed he was not on hospital bed,
adding that the much-talked about Chatham House
speech was “a face-saving measure” to cover the
true position of Buhari’s health.
The governor alleged that most of those attacking
him were doing so because he stuck out his neck to
expose the lies of the APC, explaining that after he
proved to the world that Buhari was interviewed in
Abuja and not in London, the party (APC) has
failed to prove him wrong.
