Fayose
A political pressure
group, the Northern Alternative Forum, on Thursday chided Ekiti State Governor,
Ayodele Fayose for dragging the name of the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari
into what it termed ‘‘a needless controversy arising from the prosecution of
American Congressman Jefferson over corruption and bribery in Nigeria.’’
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Chairman of the Forum, Alhaji Gidado Ibrahim said
Fayose is on a wild goose chase to divert attention from the allegation of
widespread corruption leveled against him by the EFCC.
“For Fayose to link the
wife of the president to the corruption trial of Congressman Jefferson or any
imposter called Aisha Buhari is a huge joke taken too far to say the least. A
simple search on Google could have revealed to Fayose that the Aisha Buhari is
question was not the wife of the president,” he said.
He said the governor has
formed the habit of casting aspersions and spreading falsehood against the
president and his government but what becomes of Ekiti after Fayose took over
was a huge embarrassment and disgrace to the highly urbane and educated people
of the state.
“This is a man who became governor through the proceeds of corruption and then went ahead to mismanage the resources of the state to the extent that even diesel cannot be procured to power the Government House. Workers are languishing in penury and patients are dying in the hospital yet he behaves as if everything is well in his state because he does not see things beyond his nose,” said Gidado.
He described Aisha Buhari as a quintessential
housewife and a mother whose integrity is beyond doubt and appealed to
Nigerians to disregard Fayose’s latest accusation as cocktail of lies from a
politician who is bent of dragging the name of the president in the mud in the
futile attempt to cover his misdeeds
