Letter to China: ‘If Fayose descended this low, I feel sorry for him’ – APC chairman

The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, on Sunday, condemned the Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, over the letter he wrote to China asking the Asian country not to grant Nigeria any form of loan.

Fayose had written a letter to the Chinese government asking them not to grant loans to President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that Nigerians are wary of the country’s increasing debt burden.

Odigie-Oyegun reacted to this while interacting with newsmen in Benin, the Edo state capital.

He stated that: “Most people do not recognise the very sorry state of the nation’s economy and the fact that the country’s economy was ran aground and the crashed economy which contributed in no small measure towards the crash of crude oil from N120 per barrel to a miserable N30 to N40 per barrel at the international market.”

“I hope Fayose did not really do what we are told he did. I don’t think even he is capable as descending into these low depths. But if he did, I feel sorry for him and the people of the state. Nigerians should ask Fayose what he was doing in China. Anyway, we are not bothered; the President is not bothered.”

Speaking on the integrity and experience of President Buhari, the APC national chairman said “the respect he (Buhari) commands, not only in the country but also across the world, President Buhari is on a mission to rescue the nation from her present socio-political and economic challenges.”

“In a situation where the world has become a global village, where a rapid revival depends on the understanding of the rest of the world, the President has taken his prestige and time around the whole world to polish our image which has been badly damaged in order to make it possible for world leaders to want to deal with a new Nigeria and to get the type of resources and the expertise that we need badly.”

He noted that the seemingly incessant trips undertaken by the President was absolutely necessary.

“We do not have the resources to take down to revive the economy. So, what the President is doing is at great inconveniences to his person. Don’t forget that he was a military officer, he trained abroad and he had been to most parts of the world, it is not as if he is entertaining joy in spending sleepless days in one country to another.”

“The countries he has visited are critical to peace in Nigeria or to our economic speedy revival. The long and short of it is that Mr. President is getting the world to respect and know the new Nigeria and to be ready to help to revive the Nigerian economy.”

“Everything he has done, including the foreign tours, is to gather all the support that is necessary to make a dramatic impact on the condition of Nigeria as quickly as possible.”

“The countries he has visited are critical to peace in Nigeria or to our economic speedy revival. The long and short of it is that Mr. President is getting the world to respect and know the new Nigeria and to be ready to help to survive the Nigerian economy.”
