Buhari Fight corruption not your political foes - Fayose
The fearless Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has once again reiterated his opinion that the President of Nigeria, Muhammad Buhari is not fighting corruption as a menace. Rather, the President was fighting his political foes.
Speaking
on the African Independent Television (AIT) Kaakai program, Mr. Lere
Olayinka, the Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media
to Governor Fayose was quoted to have said that for Nigeria to move
forward, “the president must create opportunities beyond political
consideration. As it is, the body language of the president speaks
volume and must change.”
The media
aide made it known that Governor Ayo Fayose was not pleased with the
President’s directive to the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN),
to investigate the Department of State Services report on the acting
chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu.
Specifically, asking if the President no longer has faith in the DSS
reports as being credible.
“Magu
was indicted by their own DSS and they are still saying the AGF should
investigate. Is AGF the police? After Magu had been indicted by the DSS,
what are they investigating again? Are they saying DSS report is no
longer credible?
“As far as I am
concerned, President Buhari is not fighting any corruption. He is
fighting his political foes. They are just trying to make all Nigerians
papers so that when they share N1, 000 at the polling units, it will be
like N1m.
“God is a God of single-standard, not double-standard. This Buhari’s government is a government of double-standard.”
In
response to whether the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) for 16 years was responsible for the present state of the Nigerian
Economy, he responded saying “Maybe we should even return to that past because, in that past, Dollar was N200 and one bag of rice was N8, 000.”
