Buhari only reacts to killing of Nigerians when there’s an election – Fayose

“Only a president with ulterior political motives will elevate political violence above the kind of genocide carried out by Fulani herdsmen in Benue State,” says the outspoken and loquacious governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose.

Fayose has also accused President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressive Congress of plotting to rig Saturday’s senate re-run election in Rivers state.

The governor, who is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, warned that any attempt to arrest a member of the PDP will be unproductive.

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said: “Having failed in the court to steal the states from the PDP, Buhari and his APC want to use violence and intimidation.”

“But they should know that even if they relocate Aso Rock Presidential Villa and the APC National Secretariat to Rivers State on Saturday, they will be roundly defeated.”

“In Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State, Fulani herdsmen allegedly killed over 400 people, including children and pregnant women, destroyed more than ten villages; President Buhari did not raise his voice against this genocide until I condemned his silence.”

“Also in Mile 12, Lagos, 15 persons, including two children were killed with property worth several millions of Naira destroyed during a clash between Hausa and Yoruba; President Buhari did not give the security services any clear directives to deal decisively with anyone.”

“Even though one is not against any action of the government aimed at curbing violence of whatever form, it is pertinent to ask the president whether or not killing of Nigerians should only attract his attention when it involves elections.”
