Buhari
The Ekiti State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, of having an ulterior motive in his unrelenting attacks on the party’s presidential flag bearer, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
The party in a reaction to Fayose’s claim that he has nothing personal against Buhari said the governor is being haunted by his alleged past misdeeds and a fear of being made to face the wrath of the law in the event of an APC victory at the March 28 presidential contest.
APC said Fayose is being driven by self-preservation and not national interest, as he knows a Buhari Presidency would not tolerate impunity and lawlessness in which the governor thrives. APC in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said, “Fayose is fighting the battle of his life contrary to the general mood of the nation.”
“We advise Fayose to concentrate his energy on how to ensure victory for his party’s candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, instead of lecturing the APC on why it should not field Buhari as its candidate for the March 28 presidential poll.
The APC said Fayose is being haunted by the latest revelation of fraud dogging his victory at the June 21, 2014 governorship election in the state and the case of N1.3 billion Ekiti Poultry Project scam which is still pending before a Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti.
Continuing, he said, “PDP said it would rule for 60 years and fortunately it is presenting a ‘youthful’ President Jonathan as its candidate.
“Fayose should have concentrated his energy and resources on promoting ‘youthful’ President Jonathan to enable his party win instead of sweating over APC presenting an old man as its candidate.
“PDP has an agenda to kill all institutions of government as it is currently doing and make corruption a creed. Never in the history of this country have we recorded cases of frauds and scandals as we have today in Nigeria,” APC submitted.
