Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, has
taken up the mantle of being the chief antagonist to APC presidential
candidate, Muhammadu Buhari. In the last one week, no day has passed
without a statement from Fayose on Buhari’s unsuitability for the office
of president due to his age, academic qualification, Bola Tinubu and
now Olusegun Obasanjo.
In a statement today, Fayose said that
Obasanjo was pushing for Buhari to be president the same way he pushed
for late president Umaru Musa Yaradua.
Fayose said: “Nigerians should be wary
of Obasanjo’s banana peel. He was the one who put forward Umar Yar ‘Adua
as the president knowing the man’s state of health and the man died in
office. He was the one who said President Goodluck Jonathan was the best
for Nigeria and that without him there would be no Nigeria.”
“The question people should ask former
President Obasanjo is what has gone wrong between now and then? He is
against President Jonathan because the President refused to be pocketed
by him and any Nigerian leader who wants to succeed will not allow that.
Obasanjo is now presenting General Muhammadu Buhari as the best
candidate for Nigeria knowing the man’s age and that the pressure of
office would be too much for him.”
“In the North, there are so many
qualified, brilliant and credible people who can rule the country well.
Why is Obasanjo going after an old horse that may collapse mid way.
Nigerians should know the state of health of Buhari. His age and health
cannot stand the rigours of the office. Nigerians deserve to know the
health status of Buhari.”
“The strange love between Obasanjo and
Tinubu is like a lion and a goat living together in the same house.
Jonathan should be allowed to complete his term and after that the North
will be allowed to present credible candidate in 2019, not an old horse
being put forward,” the statement said
