Governor Ayo Fayose
of Ekiti State has said that what Nigerians are desirous of hearing from APC
led federal government is the defeat of hunger and untold hardship
ravaging the
country and not recycled stories of defeat of Boko Haram insurgents, which is
allegedly aimed at diverting attention of Nigerians from the fact that there is
ravaging hunger at this time of the year.
The governor said it
has become predictable that whenever Nigerians cry of the pains and sufferings
they are going through, the federal government will come with stories like;
“20 Chibok girls
found,” “$1bn found in Mr A, B or C bedroom,” “Boko Haram technically
defeated,” “We have captured Sambisa forest,” `just to divert attention.
In a release issued
in Ado Ekiti on Monday, Governor Fayose said; “It is painful that Nigeria under
President Mohammadu Buhari has become directionless either due to the
cluelessness of the president or his old age that has foisted a purposeless
leadership on the country.
“This year’s
Christmas is the worse in the history of Nigeria. People cannot afford to
celebrate and enjoy themselves due to the hardship caused by the APC
government.
To make matters
worse, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) also created artificial scarcity of
cash, such that people could not access their hard earned money in the banks as
most banks in the country do not have cash to pay their customers.
“Like I have
maintained, the main issue confronting Nigerians now is hunger and hunger does
not speak the language of political propaganda that is being used by the APC
led federal government. It is therefore no longer about diversionary news, it
is about preventing Nigerians from dying of hunger."
The governor added
that “the only solution to the myriad of problems facing the country is for those
holding power in Abuja to face the sad reality that it was the hard stance of
the president, his statements against Nigeria and its people both at home and
abroad coupled with his demonstration of hatred against some sections of the
country and desperation to crush his perceived enemies that led us to where we
are today.
“It was the
president that went to foreign countries to de-market Nigeria by calling all
Nigerians thieves and dishonest people. He was the one who created atmosphere
of economic and political instability in the country by his acts of nepotism
and vindictiveness?
“Therefore, for the
country to move forward, the President must change his attitude from a
vindictive military dictator to a civilian president of all Nigerians.”
He lamented that
those cabal in the presidency have hijacked the president and his government,
running the country aground, saying; “Things were never like this at any time
in the history of Nigeria apart from 1984 [when Buhari was Military Ruler].”
