The Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar, Mr Phrank Shaibu, has said that former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, was spot in describing former Governor Nyesom Wike as \u201can average mad man.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nShaibu said this in reaction to Fayose\u2019s interview on Channels Television, wherein he stated, \u201cWike is an articulate capacity person. Nigeria needs an average mad person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wike had himself informed Kogi delegates on May 4, 2022, that Nigeria needed a mad man to govern\u00a0\u00a0them when he stated that, \u201cI can bring the country back on its track of greatness. It doesn\u2019t matter where you are from. It takes a mad man to govern Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to Fayose\u2019s interview, Shaibu said appointing Wike as a minister would be counter-productive.<\/p>\n

Shaibu said: \u201cWe want to appreciate Fayose for describing Wike as an \u2018average mad man.\u2019 Indeed, it is only a mad person who can use violence to prevent people from coming into a state to campaign. It takes madness to subvert the will of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atiku\u2019s aide said Fayose should have been man enough to publicly campaign for Bola Tinubu during the run-up to the presidential election instead of coming out now.<\/p>\n

He added that Fayose was only running from pillar to post in order to get Tinubu to discontinue his N1.7 billion corruption case at the Federal High Court.<\/p>\n

Shaibu said: \u201cOn September 20, 2022, Fayose, while addressing supporters in Ado Ekiti publicly stated that he would be supporting Waziri Atiku Abubakar despite Wike\u2019s protests. A simple Google search will confirm this.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen after Tinubu\u2019s dubious victory, Fayose quickly changed gears, stating that he was the one who delivered Ekiti State to the APC. This is his stock in trade. He is a lily-livered rabble-rouser who loves to be in the spotlight and pretends to be more popular than he really is.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the deception of the man. Aware of the fact that he cannot get a ministerial appointment because of people like Kayode Fayemi, Dele Alake and Dayo Adeyeye who are jostling for the Ekiti slot, Fayose is now running from pillar to post, trying to get an appointment for his son while also trying to get the government to withdraw his corruption case from court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the weight of evidence presented by the EFCC and its star witness, Senator Musilu Obanikoro, Fayose is now desperately trying to get the case compromised or withdrawn. Nigerians should not be deceived by his antics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaibu added that the G-5 governors were only seeking relevance, appointments, and protection from prosecution. He added that their decision not to support Atiku had nothing to do with patriotism, and Nigerians should not be deceived.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrtom was one of the worst governors in the history of Nigeria. His case file at the EFCC is bulky, and he was recently invited but released because of Wike\u2019s intervention.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkezie Ikpeazu, the former governor of Abia State, also performed abysmally\u00a0\u00a0in office. His successor has been complaining almost on a daily basis. But the EFCC will not prosecute him because of the G-5 connection. This is what they have turned the country into. No wonder they believe Nigeria needs an average mad person.”<\/p>\n
