A House of Representatives member from Ekiti State, Opeyemi Bamidele, has cautioned the Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, to stop embarrassing the State and its people by his unrelenting attack on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd).
Fayose has continued to be in the news for consistently claiming that Buhari, a former Head of State, is too sick to be Nigeria’s president.
He has also alleged that contrary to APC’s position that its standard bearer was in the United Kingdom on a working visit, the current trip of the former military ruler was to enable him seek medical attention.
However, reacting in a statement issued yesterday in Ado Ekiti, the lawmaker said Fayose was rude by his constant abuse of elders like former President, Olusegun Obasanjo and General Buhari.
While describing statements credited to the Governor as constituting a rude invasion of Buhari’s privacy and a roughneck tactic, Bamidele said, “Even if, according to Governor Fayose, General Buhari had visited a hospital during his foreign trip, the reasonable question to ask, I would think, is whether or not General Buhari deserves rest or even a medical checkup after a full-fledged and most rigorous (over 30 days) campaign during which he did not miss a single rally?”
