Buhari a Is Dictator Like Obasanjo – Fayose
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has likened administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to that of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president of Nigeria, where the rule of law was not respected.
He said it was no surprise to him being that they both have same military background, This Day reports.
Speaking at the confluence stadium in Lokoja during the grand finale of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rally for its Kogi state governorship candidate, Capt. Idris Wada, the governor said the Buhari-led administration has no iota of respect for human rights.
“If you look and search the style of Buhari’s administration and compare it with that of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who ruled the country between 1999 and 2007, the two administrations have a resemblance of military dictatorship,” he said. D
Fayose claimed that Buhari only concentrated on chasing members of the PDP over alleged corruption and his only achievement was shadow-chasing.
“The APC-led government only goes around the challenges confronting the nation, the issue of Boko Haram, and the dwindling economic situation became worse in the last six months of the Buhari administration. This government has only achieved a lot in the area of chasing shadows, making the nation worse for the people.
“It is laughable when the APC national body cleared Abubakar Audu to contest the governorship election when he is facing trail in the Lokoja High Court and in Abuja. Where was President Buhari? Can he claim that he is not in the know?” he asked.
The governor also accused the federal government of releasing the sum of N12.5 billion from the Treasury Single Account (TSA) as donation to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi state to enable the party perpetrate rigging in the upcoming election.
He called on President Buhari to carefully look around himself before going after other people, pointing out that every citizen had equal right and the nation belongs to Nigerians.
Governor Fayose in a statement on Sunday, November 15, said he did not believe in the TSA and vowed not to partake in the meeting scheduled between the federal government and the state governors. According to him, the TSA policy was a fraud against the Nigerian people.
However, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture said the president has unblemished reputation for integrity, due process, transparency and the rule of law. He dismissed the allegations making the rounds that Buhari was funding the Kogi elections with the TSA.
