Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) must apologise for lying to Nigerians on the health status of its presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd), using pictures taken in Transcop Hilton, Abuja and claming that the pictures were taken in London.<\/p>\n
Fayose said “it was interesting that the loquacious APC Spokesperson,\u00a0Lai Mohammed could develop a cold feet and muscle pull in his mouth\u00a0such that he suddenly realised that he could not join issues with\u00a0Fayose.”<\/p>\n
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public\u00a0Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said;\u00a0“The Chatham House one hour event scheduled for Thursday was paid for\u00a0by the APC with the hope that Buhari will be well enough to appear in\u00a0public briefly by Thursday.<\/p>\n
“The Event Contact person,\u00a0Chris Vandome confirmed via phone call that the event was ‘Jointly\u00a0Sponsored’ by the APC and Chatham House.”<\/p>\n
The governor said; “Having lied so brazenly that Buhari granted\u00a0interview in London, using pictures taken in Transcop Hilton, Abuja,\u00a0it is obvious that the APC is a party of deceitful people that should\u00a0not be taken seriously by Nigerians.<\/p>\n
“If APC ssys that today is Tuesday, Nigerians should check calender to be\u00a0sure.”<\/p>\n
He hailed Guardian newspaper for being honourable enough to publish an\u00a0apology yesterday, on the false picture it used on Sunday, asking;\u00a0“When is APC going to be humble enough to apologise to Nigerians?”<\/p>\n
“Hopefully, the APC expects to bombard Nigerians with pictures of\u00a0Buhari’s one hour appearance in Chatham House on Friday, using that to\u00a0cover up the real reasons he travelled to the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
“However, we expect them to publish pictures of Buhari’s departure\u00a0from the Abuja Airport,\u00a0Buhari queuing at the Airport to board his flight as they claimed,\u00a0Buhari being interviewed by journalists at the Airport, Buhari\u00a0boarding his flight and waving at those who followed him to the\u00a0Airport ans Buhari being welcomed at the Airport in London.<\/p>\n
“If actually Buhari travelled out of Nigeria under a normal condition,\u00a0could he have passed through the Abuja Airport without any of the\u00a0Aviation Journalists interviewing him?<\/p>\n
“So, those covering up Buhari’s health issue should know that his paid\u00a0appearance at Chatham House on Thursday will not do the PR they are\u00a0expecting. Rather, it will raise further questions which they can only\u00a0answer by saying the truth and apologising for the lies they told,”\u00a0the governor said.<\/p>\n
