The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose, has threatened to release 11 pictures which he said would proof to
Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari’s health had deteriorated.
Fayose said there was no iota of truth in the claim by Acting President
Yemi Osinbajo that the President was fast recuperating in London.
The governor, who spoke with journalists in
Abuja on Wednesday, insisted that the President should resign and attend to his
failing health.
“If care is not taking, I will release pictures and this will create
serious problems for the country. The offices of the governors and the
president are that which require work. If care is not taken, I will release
about 11 pictures (on his bad health”), the governor said,
Fayose, who is the Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, however, said he was not praying for the
President to die.
He challenged Osinbajo to show to Nigerians
audio or still pictures taken with the President in London when he met him on
Tuesday night.
The governor insisted that without the
acting President showing either of these, Nigerians should not take the message
by Osinbajo as the truth.
He called on the acting President to tell
Nigerians what he saw when he visited Buhari.
He said, “I’m not going to prove that to
Nigerians. It is him (Osinbajo) who said he saw the President that needs to
prove to Nigerians.
“I have made the allegations and I have said
it expressly that we are in the age of technology. So, we have an Acting
President of a nation that has visited his boss that cannot show evidence of
the meeting.
“The pictures they are posting on social
media are pictures taken long time ago. You recall that I said this again at
Transcorp Hilton in 2015. We are talking about the President of 170 million
people.
“The Acting President visiting the President
that has left this country for about 60 days or more cannot show evidence of
the meeting. It shows the President is in a critical condition.
“I wasn’t saying that we don’t want him to
return, but the claim of the acting President is not true. In this age and time
when we have the social media, we have everything to show that the government
cannot be run by propaganda.
“The fact is, the President is sick,
incapacitated and he’s not in good condition. The acting President should show
us pictures, short video of his meeting with the President . It is not in the
interest of the country that the country will be run in deceit and propaganda.
“The visit (of Osinbajo) was
diversionary and an attempt to divert the attention of the country. Both
the President and his vice do not have what it takes to run the country.
“As far as it is good to protect the interest
of his boss, he should consider the interest of the people. We are no longer
credit worthy. We cannot wait for a President that is incapacitated.”
