The mere appeal to sectional and religious will not give the party its lost relevance or electability. Nigerians are smarter than Fayose thinks.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has asked Nigerians to ignore the comments made by the Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose, about Buhari's recent appointments.

He said “Let me say at this stage that mere appeal to ethnic and regional arithmetic will not give back to the PDP what they lost. They seem to be making a dangerous calculation with their recent outbursts."

Shehu said “The governor’s outbursts are intended to be a trigger for a clash between communities in areas where deliberate attempts had in the past also been made by the PDP to stoke ethnic and religious fault-lines."

“Our appeal to Nigerians is that they should ignore these tantrums. President Buhari is a healer not a divider,” he added.

The President's aide “The mere appeal to sectional and religious will not give the party its lost relevance or electability. Nigerians are smarter than Fayose thinks."
