Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has called on well-meaning<\/p>\n
Nigerians to prevail on President Mohammadu Buhari to stop his
\nneedless foreign trips, describing the president\u2019s trip to the United
\nStates of America on Wednesday for the 4th Nuclear Security Summit
\nwhile Nigerians are suffering at home as \u201cjoke of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The governor said \u201cit remains a mystery what President Buhari that met
\npower generation at 6,000MW and could not manage it such that power
\ngeneration crumbled to Zero Megawatt yesterday, will contribute to the
\nNuclear Energy Summit in America.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and
\nNew Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said \u201cit is shameful that
\nwhile President Buhari was far away in the United States of America,
\nattending a summit that does not have any bearing on Nigeria and its
\npeople, an unprecedented happened – power generation stopped
\ncompletely for over three hours!\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the sufferings of Nigerians deserved the attention of the
\npresident instead of junketing around the world, wasting the country\u2019s
\nscarce foreign exchange.<\/p>\n
The governor alleged that over $50 million must have been spent on the
\npresident\u2019s frequent foreign trips, adding that Nigerians should ask
\nPresident Buhari whether his trip to the United States of America to
\nattend Nuclear Energy Summit will bring the lingering fuel scarcity
\nbeing experienced in the country to an end.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigerians are suffering. Petrol has become so scarce that our people
\nnow sleep in petrol stations to buy fuel at N200 per litre while the
\npresident who should alleviate their sufferings is in the USA,
\nattending a summit that he won\u2019t even understand whatever that is
\ndiscussed there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not acceptable. Mr President should stay at home and see to
\nit that at least, power generation returns to 6,000MW that he met it
\nif he cannot add to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr President should stay at home and bring this fuel scarcity that
\nhas paralysed almost all activities in the country to an end.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigerians are saying their president should stay at home and bring to
\nan end the killings, raping of women and destruction of farmlands by
\nFulani herdsmen.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost importantly, the President should listen more to those of us who
\ncriticise him instead of those hailing every of his wrong steps either
\nbecause of what they intend to gain or for fear of persecution,\u201d the
\ngovernor said.<\/p>\n
