Fayose accused President
Buhari of “de-marketing Nigeria,” by depicting her citizens before the
international community as dishonest.
“Which foreign investor
will invest his money in a country of dishonest people?” He asked.
The Ekiti State Governor,
Ayodele Fayose, has again criticized President Muhammadu Buhari over the
country’s economic recession, describing him as the “major problem of Nigeria.”
“Our President, through his
actions and inactions is destroying everything that makes Nigeria a country and
well-meaning Nigerians must stand-up to be counted in the crusade to save the
country from going under,” Mr. Fayose said in a statement signed by his media
aide, Lere Olayinka.
“Who made investors to leave Nigeria if not
President Buhari, who created atmosphere of economic and political instability
in the country by his acts of nepotism and vindictiveness?”
According to Mr Fayose,
Nigerians will not measure his government on the basis of what his predecessors
failed to do, but on what he did or failed to do between May 29, 2016 and May
29, 2019.
He said with the level of
hunger in the country, President Buhari should rather get serious with
governance, stop his blame game, and be innovative.
“No nation has ever reached
greatness by their leaders engaging in blame game, nepotism and vengeance as
being done by President Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC)
government,” he said.
“Nigerians must begin to
speak out now before the country is totally destroyed by this one-man
government, which does not see any idea coming from those perceived as opposed
to the government as worthy of consideration.
“Like I said before, the
main issue confronting Nigerians now is hunger and hunger does not speak the
language of politics. It is therefore no longer about politics; it is about
preventing hunger from killing Nigerians.”
Governor Fayose said the
federal government should stop deceiving Nigerians with stories of injecting
funds into the economy, given that the economic problems facing the country had
gone beyond talks of injecting N350 billion into the economy through execution
of capital projects.
“If they inject even N500
billion into the economy by paying contractors executing federal government
capital projects, how does that affect the price of rice and other food items?
How does it affect the price of basic drugs?” he said.
“Instead of unsustainable
measures, what President Buhari should do is to bring economic experts in the
country together not-minding their political and ethnic affiliations so that
they can proffer lasting solutions to the country’s economic problems.”
