Buhari too frail to rule, says Fayose

  

 

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose

The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said that the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) is too frail to rule the country.

According to him, Buhari is in the United Kingdom for other purposes other than political tour even as he stressed that Buhari cannot win the presidential election.

Fayose, who said this in Abuja on Monday at a press briefing, added that Buhari spoke in an interview with foreign journalists in a suite at the Transcorps Hilton Hotel, Abuja, and not the UK as being portrayed by his campaigners.

He alleged that the level of falsehood upon which the candidature of Buhari was being projected to Nigerians “exposes the deceitful nature of the opposition and qualifies the APC candidate for failure at the polls come March 28.

“I don’t have anything against the North. I also don’t have anything against General Buhari.

“But one thing is certain. The General is too weak, too frail to be President.

“He can’t even be the governor of his state let alone being the President of this country.”

He said it was because of the alleged frail health of Buhari that he brought journalists to the venue of the briefing.

But the Buhari Support Organisation has said that Fayose needs medical help to cure him of his negative obsession with Buhari.

The Director of Media and Information Technology of the BSO, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe, who trained as a medical doctor, said this in response to Fayose’s claim that Buhari was too frail to govern Nigeria.

Madukwe said, “The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose, is suffering from what we call in medicine, ‘obsessive compulsive disorder’ based on an appetite and a wish to see General Muhammadu Buhari dead.

“He is a psychopath whose obsession has altered his sense of rational analysis of situations whenever he hears the name Buhari. Unfortunately, he is not God and does not have control of the life of our revered General.

“Fayose should go back home and prepare to defend himself in the case of the massive rigging that led to the stolen mandate he currently enjoys and leave our General alone.”

But while trying to establish his point that Buhari’s health was failing, Fayose sat on the three-seater sofa which he said was the replica of the one Buhari sat on in the picture of the alleged interview.

He insisted that the table lamp and the cupboard in the hotel also matched those Buhari sat on during the said interview in London.

Pointing at the setting of the suit 880 at the Hilton, Fayose said, “I brought you here to see for yourself the setting of the room in the Hilton where the picture was taken.”
