Fayose challenging Buhari’s authority by wearing military fatigue – APC

The Ekiti chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says the decision of the state governor Ayodele Fayose to wear military fatigue while presenting the 2017 budget was an affront to President Muhammadu Buhari’s authority.
In a statement on Wednesday, the state APC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said Fayose’s conduct was an affront to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and men of the Armed Forces, and an insult to the nation’s constitution.
“The President of the federation is allowed to wear army uniform to perform certain official functions while the officers and men of the force can also wear it. By wearing army uniform to perform an official duty in the parliament, Fayose is challenging the authority of the President who is the only Head of Government allowed by law to wear army uniform.
“We have always insisted that Fayose is a law unto himself and a threat to democracy in Nigeria, showing contempt for the law and would do anything to undermine the integrity of the supremacy of the constitution.
“As a man who has constituted himself as the law, Fayose has demonstrated several times that he has no respect for the nation’s constitutional democracy and the rule of law.
“He sacked the House of Assembly for six months and ran 19 APC members out of the town with thugs and used seven PDP members to impeach APC Speaker in the House of Assembly of 26 members after he led thugs to invade the court to beat a judge and tore court records in the Chief Judge’s office.
“Fayose keeps his own army in the Government House that he regularly unleashes on his opponents, including using same armed thugs to prevent EFCC from doing its job when the governor stormed Access Bank with thugs to shield Mrs Fani-Kayode from EFCC scrutiny on her husband’s frozen account.
“Wearing army camouflage to the parliament to present the budget has confirmed our earlier claim that Fayose has army uniforms stocked at home with which he unleashed terror on the opposition during the Presidential and National Assembly elections,” he explained.
