Buhari Has Turned Governance To Nollywood – Fayose

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
State, has challenged the Minister of
Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed to make public names of
the 15 former governors and 55
Nigerians that he claimed stole N1.34
trillion between 2006 and 2013 or
keep his mouth shut permanently.
In a statement by his Special Assistant
on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor
Fayose said “The reality is that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Federal
Government has destroyed the
economy within eight months in
power and rather than look for
solutions to the problems facing
Nigeria, Lai Mohammed and his
cohorts are branding bogus figures
about stolen money just to cover up
their lack of solution to the country’s
economic problems.”
The governor, who also described as
disgraceful, bringing the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) National
Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh to
court in handcuff, said; “Even the
masterminds of Mandala and Nyanya
bomb blasts, Kabiru Sokoto and
Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche were not
handcuffed when they were arraigned
in court.”
Fayose said it was funny that close to
one year after it won the presidential
election, the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led APC federal government
was still operating as if it was
campaigning for votes.
The governor said: “They are turning
governance to Nollywood, such that
when one movie is about to end, they
release another one.
As it appears that the $2.1 billion
arms deal movie is getting to an end,
Lai Mohammed introduced another
movie titled N1.34 trillion loot.
“Unfortunately for them this time
around, Nigerians have become tired
of watching the Federal Government
movies, they now want reality.
Nigerians are now aware of the scam
in the $2.1 billion arms deal movie
having seen that the amount those
already charged to court were
charged with is not more than N10
billion and $2.1 billion is over N600
billion.
“Therefore, Lai Mohammed must
either tell Nigerians details of the 15
former governors and 55 people that
he claimed stole N1.34 trillion, where
the stolen money is kept and bring
back the money or apologise to
Nigerians for lying.”
While describing the persistent claim
by the federal government that the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
destroyed Nigeria for 16 years as
hypocritical, Governor Fayose said
Nigerians must begin to ask which
party majority of those presently
ruling the country under the APC
government were between 1999 and
2014.
“Majority of those who ran the
Federal Government between 1999
and 2003 under the PDP are in the
APC government today. President,
vice president, ministers, governors,
senators and House of Reps members
who were part of the PDP
government are now in APC. Yet, APC
keeps telling Nigerians that PDP
ruined the country. This hypocrisy
must stop,” he said.
The governor, who insisted that due
process of the law must be followed
in fighting corruption, noted that
disobedience to court orders itself is a
criminal offence that is more grievous
than corruption.
He said no amount of harassment and
intimidation will silence opposition in
the country, saying President Buhari
and his men should rather get used to
the reality that opposition must exist
in a democracy.
