The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has labelled President Muhammadu Buhari as the “major problem of Nigeria.”
Fayose made the remark in a statement on Sunday signed by his media aide, Lere Olayinka.
He said, “Our President, through his actions and inactions is destroying everything that makes Nigeria a country and well-meaning Nigerians must stand-up to be counted in the crusade to save the country from going under.”
He said President Buhari was the chief “de-marketer of Nigeria” by depicting her citizens before the international community as dishonest.
“Which foreign investor will invest his money in a country of dishonest people?” He asked.
“Who made investors to leave Nigeria if not President Buhari, who created atmosphere of economic and political instability in the country by his acts of nepotism and vindictiveness?”
According to Fayose he said Nigerians should speak up against this “one-man government” as he accused Buhari of engaging in blame game, nepotism and vengeance.
“No nation has ever reached greatness by their leaders engaging in blame game, nepotism and vengeance as being done by President Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) government,” he said.
“Nigerians must begin to speak out now before the country is totally destroyed by this one-man government, which does not see any idea coming from those perceived as opposed to the government as worthy of consideration.
“Like I said before, the main issue confronting Nigerians now is hunger and hunger does not speak the language of politics. It is therefore no longer about politics; it is about preventing hunger from killing Nigerians.”
Fayose said the proposed N350 billion to be injected into the economy by the federal government will have no effect on the needs of the common man.
“If they inject even N500 billion into the economy by paying contractors executing federal government capital projects, how does that affect the price of rice and other food items? How does it affect the price of basic drugs?” he said.
“Instead of unsustainable measures, what President Buhari should do is to bring economic experts in the country together not-minding their political and ethnic affiliations so that they can proffer lasting solutions to the country’s economic problems.”
