The governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has reiterated his stand that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, will never actualize his aspiration to rule Nigeria again.
At the same time, the governor challenged Buhari to swear by the Holy Quran that he did not visit hospital in the United Kingdom last week.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and News Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said; “I wish they can see spiritually what I am talking about that Buhari, despite the hullabaloo, will never be president. I predicted my return as Ekiti State governor and I am saying it again that Buhari will never rule Nigeria again.
“After President Goodluck Jonathan, there will be a young element in his late 50s from the North that will be Nigerian president. I want to liken this revelation to the story of Elijah and Elisha. I am the Elijah while my followers are Elisha.”
While maintaining that he was not wishing Buhari dead, Governor Fayose said; “I owe it a duty to Nigeria and its people to expose the antics of the APC cabal whose only interest is to seize power to further their selfish interest.
“Without doubt, it is obvious that these cabal in the APC are trying to deceive Nigerians on Buhari’s health status. That’s the reason they have been using photoshoped pictures to defend their lies on Buhari’s UK trip.
“First, they used a March 5, 2013 picture, claiming that Buhari was taking a walk in London on Thursday. Later they came up with another poorly cropped picture of Buhari with the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
“The same people, who lied in September 2012, that they received a gold card invitation to attend the Democratic National Convention in the United States of America are behind the robing of Buhari in the garment of lies and I challenge Buhari to swear by the Holy Quran that he did not visit hospital in the United Kingdom last week.
“However, I want to disappoint this selfish cabal. Buhari is only raising their hope and that hope will be dashed (Source: Tribune. Photo credit: News Express).
I think Fayose needs a Psychiatrist himself. What’s this obsession about Gen Buhari going to London Hospital. Assuming, without conceding, that General Buhari went to Hospital for Check-up or whatever as part of his UK visit, what crime has he committed? Does that makes him “unfit to rule?”
I pity Ekiti state people who have to live with this thuggish rogue for 4 years. How did this accident strike them twice?
