Ekiti
State Governor Ayodele Fayose has charged Nigerians who voted for
President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 general election to specially beg
God for forgiveness for ‘bringing untold economic hardship and
unprecedented level of insecurity upon Nigerians.’
Mr.
Fayose who said reports from Transparency International indicated that
corruption has taken a surge under the Buhari administration warned
Nigerians to vote out the APC in 2019.
He said the hardship that will befall the country if Buhari is re-elected is better imagined than experienced.
“Those
who voted Muhammadu Buhari as the president of our country must seek
for forgiveness. His leadership has brought unimaginable hardship and
misery on the people. The killing is too much and if he continues in
office the hardship will be intolerable.
“They
said he would come and make the difference and make things better but
the reverse is the case. Unemployment is second to none and he has
killed the economy and made the people poorer. The level of nepotism is
also unprecedented. Even their so-called fight against corruption is
laced with favouritism and is one-sided,” he said.
The
governor made these assertions at the government house pavilion,
Ado-Ekiti on Monday while addressing representatives of teachers, local
government workers and private sector operators who had gathered enmass
under the Oshoko Mass Movement(OMM), a political group, to endorse the
Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Prof. Kolapo Olusola Eleka, as their
preferred candidate for the 2018 gubernatorial election.
The
governor in his address also took a swipe at the immediate past governor
of the state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, for not doing enough to unearth the
natural resources which abound in various local government areas of the
state.
"There
are natural deposits across Ekiti, President Muhammadu Buhari spent
N40b searching for crude oil in the North, what is Fayemi doing to
unearth the minerals that abound here?", he asked.
Fayose
thanked Ekiti teachers and parents for making it possible for the state
to take a big leap in the secondary education sector.
"Ekiti
people are not cut out for pretence, power belongs to the people, you
have shown by your action here today that Eleka is the next governor of
Ekiti State. Ekiti was at number 34 in 2014 WAEC, with the same set of
teachers we came first in NECO in 2016 and 2017 back to back! God bless
my teachers", he said.
Reiterating
that the emergence of Prof. Kolapo Olusola Eleka as deputy governor of
Ekiti State was by divine providence, Mr. Fayose charged workers to
ensure they get their permanent voter's card in preparation for the 2018
and 2019 elections even as they go out there to win five new voters
into the Eleka fold.
