Press statement from Ekiti state governor...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the planned
One-Million-Man March by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos
as a plot by the party to cause chaos and pandemonium in the State, so
as to take the minds of the public away from the lies they told about
the health status of the party's presidential candidate, Major General
Mohammadu Buhari (rtd).
The governor also said that he had been vindicated by Buhari, having
admitted that he actually travelled to the United Kingdom to rest and
that he visited his doctors.
According to a statement issued on Friday, by the governor's Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,
"walking the streets of Lagos by the APC won't remove the fact that
the party is a congregation of liars and deceitful people, who can
never be trusted with the resources of Nigeria and its people."
Fayose who insisted that Buhari was not healthy enough to govern
Nigeria said; "A man who campaigned for four weeks, speaking for less
than one hour in all the rallies put together and needed to rest for
15 days should just stay at home and be playing with his grandchildren
rather than struggling to take up a job that he does not have the
required mental and physical strength to do."
He said; "They brought in Buhari like a thief in the night and now
they want to put Lagosians into more hardships by blocking major roads
all in the name of a phoney one-million-man match.
"Why not hold their rally in a designated place instead of embarking
on a match that will cause chaos and hardships in the state?"
On Buhari's admisson that
"he just went off for a couple of weeks to rest," Fayose said; "who do
we now believe? APC said Buhari went on working visit to UK while
Buhari himself said he went to UK to rest.
"When asked by press men whether or not he ever visited any hospital
in UK, Buhari said:
'What is wrong for me to go the hospital?'
"By this statement from Buhari himself, it is clear that APC and its
lying leaders tried to fool Nigerians, lying so brazenly and using
fake pictures to authenticate their lies.
"Even though there is nothing wrong in Buhari going for medicare
abroad, afterall he should be seeing his doctors more often at his
age, it is shameful that APC lied so brazenly trying to cover up the
obvious reasons Buhari travelled for 15 days.
"What is wrong is the lies told to defend Buhar's trip to the UK to
rest and seek medicare.The fake pictures of Buhari walking the streets
of London, the fake Tony Blair picture and the use of pictures taken
in Transcop Hilton, Abuja and claming that the pictures were taken in
London is the main issue.
"Most importantly, presenting Buhari to us as a superhuman, who can
never fall sick is what is wrong and Nigerians are expecting Buhari to
apologise for all the lies told in an attempt to cover up the real
reasons he (Buhari) travelled secretly to UK."
