Fayose faults acting President over Buhari
• Threatens to release damaging pictures of President’s health
Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose yesterday accused acting President Yemi Osinbajo of not being truthful over the real health condition of President Muhammadu Buhari,
threatening to release eleven pictures concerning the real health status of the President if the presidency fails to come clean on the issue.
Fayose pointedly said that the claim of the acting President that Buhari is fast recuperating and will return to the country soon, was not true.
Rather, the Chairman of the PDP governors’ forum insisted that the President is critically sick and incapacitated and that he is presently on life support.
The Governor of Ekiti state challenged the acting President to show Nigerians pictures and short videos of his meeting with President Buhari in London last Tuesday if indeed he is insisting that the President is fast recharging.
He specifically described the visit of Osinbajo to London to see Buhari as nothing but diversionary.
According to Fayose, “we pray for his ( Buhari’s) health and for him to come back in one piece.
“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 critical condition.
“Again, if they are not careful, I will release some pictures. This will in turn create so many serious problems for this country”, he said.
When asked how he got his information that the president is not recovering fully well as said by the acting President, thebEkiti Governor said, “And I’m telling you again that I don’t need to prove anything to Nigerians because they are saying the President is well. He’s hale and hearty. He has refused to come home in about 70 days.
“The office of the President and office of the government are offices that encourage the office holders to perform. A President that has spent so much time outside the country in a year shows clearly that this sickness is major.
“If they go further and try to continue to deceive Nigerians, I will release about 11 damaging pictures anytime from now on the President’s health.
“In this age of technology, Osinbajo should be able to show Nigerians pictures and short videos of the President to show that he is okay. Nigerians want to see their President.
“The acting President’s statement that Buhari is okay is not true, it is far from the truth. president Buhari is very sick, critically sick. The President is critically ill”, he said.
Fayose recalled that he warned Nigerians in 2015 about the health condition of the President, noting with regret that his warning was ignored.
He stressed that whenever he asked about the health condition of the President, “they will say you are asking too much. but now, we have been able to establish that thePresident is on life support”.
The Governor therefore repeated his call on President Buhari to step aside and allow Nigeria to move on.
When asked if the Governors have made efforts to visit thebPresident in London, Fayose said that each time they had made efforts towards that direction, they were always meeting brick wall.
