Buhari is Taking Nigeria to Anarchy – Governor Fayose
Ayodele Fayose
Dr. Ayodele Fayose, the Ekiti State Governor, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of embarking on unlawful ways to oust him as governor of his state, despite enormous support of his people; a move he said was capable of setting Nigeria on the path of anarchy.
According to ThisDay, the governor made the allegation yesterday during a chat with journalists at his Magodo Estate residence in Lagos where he said the Buhari government is making moves to unseat him unconstitutionally.
As regard the ongoing celebrated talk about the over $2 billion arms deal, Fayose said Buhari should extend his searchlight to the President Olusegun Obasabjo era to see how the NSA expended funds.
He said: “President Buhari must be bold enough to go beyond President Goodluck Jonathan and let us look at all the NSA’s in office in the last 16 years. He should go a little further, the Halliburton is there why is he shying away to go there. I am telling you corruption is even higher under Buhari than ever before. There are 16 things that will happen in the country in 2016. I am going to publish it.”

Fayose alleged that the Major General Adeniyi
Oyebade’s Military Panel set up to look at the role of the military
during the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti State was a covert
arrangement aimed at ending his government.
“It is the All Progressives Congress (APC). The president himself! That military panel was selected for this hatchet job. The same military handled election in Ekiti and Osun States PDP won in Ekiti States but APC won in Osun, heavens did not fall. They have a target, but we are waiting for them. You can only start a thing, you cannot muscle or kill everybody. What happened in Bayelsa State, let us look at the role of the military in that state. It is all over the social media. Are we going back to 1984 under Buhari where he will be beating us when we go to buy essential materials; that will never happen in this country? They can’t cow us.

“You will recall that after I won the election, there was this
effort to stop the swearing-in and that generated a lot of controversy,
even before and after the elections. There was one story of
photo-chronic military rigging and all that.
“What they are doing now is that they went to Kaduna, after all
submissions, they now want to say the military rigged Ekiti election.
They are releasing their report very soon and knowing well that
military report holds no water in law, the Attorney-General would want
that report reviewed and approach the Supreme Court to review their
position, which is not known in law.
“Andy Uba, Ogboru and a number of other people did it and they
were told it was not known to law. So, I want to remind them, that they
are on the verge of destroying democracy in Nigeria. Call it fighting
corruption, but they are on the verge of destroying democracy in
Nigeria.
“There is no lion again in Nigeria. We own this country together.
I am Ayo Fayose. I am from Ekiti, popularly known as Osokomole. I am
telling him again, the consequence of dictatorship is the fall of the
dictator. It is either he (Buhari) threads softly and remember the same
Nigerians who gave him the opportunity after several attempts,” he stressed.As regard the ongoing celebrated talk about the over $2 billion arms deal, Fayose said Buhari should extend his searchlight to the President Olusegun Obasabjo era to see how the NSA expended funds.
