Ekiti state Governor- Ayo Fayose

Fayose made the comment while delivering a lecture titled “Journalism and Politics : Two Sides of A Coin” in Oyo state, The Cable reports.

“Whatever I say is divine… The next to happen is the removal of Kogi state governor… I have not lost a battle in my life,” he said.

“People say that I abuse Buhari. I am not abusing him because he is like my grandfather, but I know the history.

“Eighty per cent of people that voted for Buhari in the West did not know him. They are between 18 and 40. They voted because they wanted change desperately and I agree with them. He left government 32 years ago so they did not experience his rule.

“Today, the Peoples Democratic Party is no longer in government so they should stop blaming the PDP. They told us that dollars would become one to one but where is that today? The regime of fuel subsidy is gone and we now have food subsidy. Queue is back at filling stations.

“We have never had it so bad like in the last 12 months; electricity has gone to zero and we no longer have light in our houses. Most generators have been exhausted. I want to tell Nigerians that we are in the wrong direction because you cannot give what you don’t have.

“There is time to retire because of the diminishing return on the functionality of the brain. At 75, my mother can do little,” he added.

Fayose also said that Buhari lacks the ideas necessary to rule Nigeria.
