Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has described as
\nappalling, the present situation of Nigeria, where the Presidency has
\nbecome the employer and defender of Boko Haram terrorists and armed
\nbandits.<\/p>\n
The former governor, who also called on Nigerians to restrict their
\nmovements to avoid falling victims of terrorists, who have taken over
\nthe entire country, expressed concern that nowhere is safe in the
\ncountry.<\/p>\n
Fayose said in a statement on Sunday, by his Media Aide, Lere
\nOlayinka, that the issue of Minister of Communication and Digital
\nEconomy, Isa Pantami has further exposed the government’s hypocrisy
\nand complicity, adding that “it is saddening and worrisome that
\nspokesmen of the president were the ones going from one media house to
\nanother to defend someone who openly supported terrorists.”<\/p>\n
He lamented that “in the last three days, over 300 Nigerians have been
\nkilled across the country, with several others in captivity, and this
\nis still not enough for President, Muhammadu Buhari and his men to
\nwear sackcloth and cover themselves with ashes. Rather, they are seen
\nmaking merry as if nothing has happened.”<\/p>\n
The former Governor said it was painful that Nigeria was being
\ngoverned by people who were at one time or the other nominated as Boko
\nHaram negotiator while their lieutenants are those who have openly
\nkicked against military action against Boko Haram terrorists and
\nrejected its categorisation as a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n
He said those ruling Nigeria, particularly at the federal were acting
\nas if the country is about the government and them, forgetting that
\nthe government is about the country and its people.<\/p>\n
Fayose said with killing of Nigerians from North, South, East and
\nWest, it was certain that Nigerians must be impatient to send this APC
\ngovernment packing in 2023, having made the mistake of bringing this
\nclueless people in 2015. In fact, waiting between now and 2023 will
\nremain a pain in the heart of Nigerians.<\/p>\n
“It is funny that today, if those running the affairs of the country
\nare not telling us that armed bandits must be seen as innocent until
\nproven guilty, they will be saying offence of forgery is more grievous
\nthan open declaration of support for terrorists.<\/p>\n
“Because of their inability to take decisive actions against these
\nterrorists that they appear to have sympathy for, Nigeria is no longer
\nsafe for anyone to live in.<\/p>\n
“Our roads have been taking over by terrorists while Nigerians,
\nincluding traditional rulers are now being abducted right inside their
\nbedrooms.<\/p>\n
“It is therefore my counsel to Nigerians that they should stay in
\ntheir domains at this period and avoid travelling around the country.
\nThose staying in isolated areas should also endeavor to move to where
\nthere are more people.<\/p>\n
“It is my prayer that God will restore peace and normalcy to our
\ncountry.”<\/p>\n
