Governor Ayo
Fayose has urged President Muhammadu Buhari, to resign if he loves the country,
as ill-heath is not allowing the President to effectively discharge his
constitutional duties.
constitutional duties.
Fayose, who
addressed newsmen in Lagos on Tuesday, said being an avowed corruption fighter,
Buhari is now under moral burden to save Nigeria from needless stagnation
arising from his heath challenges that have impacted negatively on his
performance.
The governor
said fighting corruption was not limited to discovering large sums of money
here and there, but doing the right thing at the right time.
He opined
that taking a bow when necessary was also an indication of being morally
upright.
The
governor, who appraised the two years of the Buhari administration, said the
All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government had failed to deliver on its
promises.
"So
far, the APC-led Federal Government has been a government of misadventure and
Nigerians are worse for it. They say they are fighting corruption but are
shielding corrupt elements within their fold.
Members of
the opposition defect to the APC for protection. Fighting corruption is more
than discovering huge sums of money all over the place, with nobody being
traced to be the owners, moral corruption too is bad.
"He can
do us the great help by resigning. Not resigning bothers on his integrity. His
absence allows others to suppress and oppress others and that means he is
allowing others to suppress their fellow human beings. There are many
governments in one and they are clueless. We need an active president going by
our numerous challenges. How long will Nigerians wait for an incapacitated
president?
"We
cannot wait again for somebody to hold us to ransom. I don't have any bad
blood against Buhari Osinbajo has no powers without the president. He owes us
the duty to tell us the state of his health," the governor said.
On the
performance of the economy, Fayose said it had gone from bad to worse. He
noted that the middle class had been wiped off.
"There
is no middle class any more .Economic indicators are not cherry at last. They
borrow money on daily basis and committing funds that ought to accrue to all
tiers of government to servicing the loans," he added.
