Nigerians need to seek God forgiveness for bringing Buhari- Fayose

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has urged politicians that brought President Muhammadu Buhari to seek God’s forgiveness for the untold hardship in the country.

He lamented that Nigeria’s economy had become worse under the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government, which he noted had no solution to the myriads of problems facing the country.

The governor spoke on Monday at a meeting of the Osoko Mass Movement attended by representatives of labour unions, civil servants and public institutions in the state.

He said, “People that voted Buhari must seek repentance. People thought he was coming to make a difference but he has caused more economic hardship. We are being ruled by fiat. Unemployment is second to none. The Transparency International said corruption had become worse among Nigerians.”

The governor urged the people to vote for a well educated candidate in the election and not to sell their votes.

He said his deputy, Prof. Kolapo Olusola was the most educated and suitably qualified aspirant to rule the state.

“If you say I’m not educated now I have presented a professor. We are not supposed to retrogress, we should progress. A professor is higher than doctor and supervises him. By all standard I’m presenting the most suitably qualified aspirant.

“Our interest was somewhere else but his name kept reappearing. Ekiti needs continuity, I have put in my best in the circumstance and I know he will do it better,” he said.

Fayose said the APC government had not benefited the Ekiti people in anyway despite having a former governor of the state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, as the Minister of Mines and Steel Development.

He said, “There are many mineral deposits in Ekiti which have been left untapped despite our son being the Minister of Mines and Steel Development.

“Buhari spent N40b searching for crude oil in the North; where is Fayemi looking?”
