Ekiti State Governor, Mr
Ayodele Fayose has called on Nigerians
to appeal to the former governor of
Lagos State, Alhaji Bola Tinubu and his
cabal to allow the All Progressives Congress(APC) presidential candidate, Maj
Gen Mohammadu Buhari to attend properly
to his health.
The governor, who said he
was worried that Tinubu and his cabal were pushing Buhari too hard because of
their selfish motive and parochial interests.
In a statement signed by
his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,in
Ado Ekiti Sunday, the governor said; “since last week Thursday, that Buhari
appeared for less than two hours at the Chatham House where he said his doctors
certified him fit and that he was returning to Nigeria for the ‘final onslaught
on the PDP,’ he has simply disappeared from public glare.”
He queried; “Isn’t it
strange that someone who is contesting an election in 28 day’s time could
afford to stay outside the country for going to two weeks?
“Buhari confessed that he
actually saw his doctors, why did the APC cabal lie that he never visited any
hospital, even going to the ridiculous and criminal level of using pictures
taken in Abuja to authenticate claim that Buhari had a television interview in
London?
“Like I have maintained,
the same cabal that were involved in the Yar’Adua saga are also involved in the
packaging of Buhari and Nigerians must save the man from these people, who are
only interested in using him to assume power.”
While maintaining that
Buhari was not the candidate of the north, Fayose asked; “shouldn’t it interest
Nigerians, especially the northerners that only Malam Nasir El-Rufai was a
notherner among those who attended the last Thursday arranged Chatham House
event?
“During the APC primary, delegates
from the North voted for former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso. Only delegates controlled by
Tinubu, Governor Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Bukola Saraki voted for Buhari.
“In appreciation of
Tinubu’s role, Buhari gave him (Tinubu) the sole right to choose his running
mate, with Tinubu still being rumoured to be interested in the Vice President
position that he gave his surrogate, Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
“Also, the APC confirmed
yesterday that Buhari’s campaign is being funded by Tinubu and Amaechi.
Buhari was already pushing himself, he has contested more than three times. That man is not the type you can push, so Fayose if you have nothing to say shut up
