Dr Kayode Fayemi, former governor of Ekiti state and current serving minister has criticised Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose for accusing President Buhari of tampering with the inquiry of alleged use of soldiers in the state’s governorship election in June 21, 2014.
Fayose had defeated Fayemi, who was the incumbent governor at that time, in the polls but report surfaced later to suggest that there were manipulations of the results by military personnel.
Fayemi has however hit back at Fayose’s accusation of Buhari, stating that the military high command was responsible for the decision to probe the soldiers and not the president.
The Nation reports that he revealed this on air while at Adaba 88.9 FM, Akure, on Saturday, December 26.
The minister said that Fayose has an “infantile mind” even as his allegation was without basis.
He also said that Fayose was not ready for governance when he was elected being the reason he has turned governance to comedy as well as loot the state dry.
Furthermore, he said the citizens of the state were beginning to see the governor as callous and insensitive stemming from his alleged involvement in harassing market women and increasing taxes.
The minister said “The Fayose’s allegation is rubbish and so typical of him to reduce everything to his own imagination. To the best of my knowledge, President Buhari is no longer a military ruler.
“But if the military in its wisdom decides to investigate the role of soldiers in elections in Osun, Ekiti, Rivers and Abia, what has that got to do with President Buhari or the Federal Executive Council?
“He (Fayose) is only trying to draw attention to himself. He wants a response and nobody has responded to him either at party level or governmental level.
“This is an eruption of an infantile mind, we don’t want to dignify him with any response on what he has been saying about President Buhari.”
FAYEMI IS NOT SAYING THE TRUTH.
