says Nigerians are suffering under the APC government. Governor Ayodele Fayose
of Ekiti state has described the celebration by the federal government over the
release of 21 Chibok girls by the Boko Haram group as a tactic employed by the
government to divert the attention of Nigerians away from the hunger in the
country.
Fayose made the claim in Iyin-Ekiti,
Irepodun/Ifelodun local government area of Ekiti state on Thursday, October 13
during the inaugurating a block of four classrooms built for the Erelu Angela
Adebayo Children’s Home. The governor, according to Vanguard, called on
President Muhammadu Buhari to address the massive hunger that is killing many
people in the country. “What they came out today to tell Nigerians that 21
abducted Chibok girls have been released by the Boko Haram group is
diversionary. Nigerians have never had it so bad. People are very hungry. What
they did today is just to divert attention from what they did last week by
clamping judges and justices into detention. While no one is saying corruption
should be condoned, but the due process must be followed,” he said. Fayose said
the Peoples Democratic Party-led federal government which was labeled as inept
by the opposition did better than the current administration. “The exchange
rate of the naira to the dollar is unacceptable. The situation has led to
hyper-inflation where what people used to buy for N30,000 can not be bought
with N100,000?. Look at the elections that have been conducted since they came
to office, all the gains recorded by the previous government as far as
democracy is concerned are being eroded,” he said.
“Food security is number one, they
should stop fooling us; our economy must be urgently addressed because
Nigerians voted for the government in power so that they can enjoy better
lives. “There is hunger everywhere, many husbands had turned to wives in their
families. Nigeria is hard to live in and we pray that God will change this
change for us. “It is not good for a government to be catching thieves and
kidnappers everyday while its citizens are hungry. Everybody is now a thief in
Nigeria, we need prayer in Nigeria and we need divine intervention,” he added.
Fayose said Nigerians are suffering under the APC government, alleging that the
current administration had taken away the rights of Nigerians. He accused the
Buhari administration of using the report of Chibok girls’ release to cover up
the undue arrest of judges. He said what Nigerians need is food on the table
because propaganda does not amount to food on the table for the citizens.
Meanwhile, Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state on Thursday, October 13,
hailed the release of 21 Chibok school girls by the Boko Haram insurgents.
According to him, the release of the girls has shown President Muhammadu
Buhari’s sincerity in ending the Boko Haram insurgency, NAN reports. In a
statement signed by Malam Isa Gusau, the governor’s special adviser on
communication in Maiduguri, Shettima said that the release of the 21 Chibok
girls has eliminated the doubts in President Buhari.
