Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) duped Nigerians by obtaining their votes by trick, declaring that; “Everything Buhari and his party promised Nigerians when they were looking for votes, they had denied and it won’t be a surprise if one day, Buhari comes out to deny that he was elected on the platform of the APC.”
He described Buhari’s declaration that he would not pay the N5, 000 stipend he promised to unemployed youths in the country and Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed’s claim that creation of three million jobs per year was not promised by the APC as the peak of political 419 that the President and his party represent.
He said; “They have not fulfilled any of the promises they made to Nigerians. In fact, they have even told us that they never made any promise. It is close to one year that Buhari assumed office; no single job has been created. Instead of the three million jobs per year that they promised, what we have been witnessing is job losses, economic hardship and budget padding.”
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said that it was more worrisome that President Buhari always chose foreign lands to make major policy pronouncements, asking whether Buhari had turned himself to Nigeria’s Diaspora or Online President.
“Even though I am a lover of Muslims, I relate with them as I do with Christians in the state and across the country, but Nigeria must remain secular and a free nation, where its citizens proclaim the name of Jesus Christ and Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) freely.”
Fayose said the moment Buhari disowned his own campaign document titled: “My Covenant with Nigerians,” that was circulated to Nigerians during the electioneering and also published in national newspapers and posted online on March 16 and 17, 2015, he knew that Nigerians had been that duped.
“Nigerians have now realised that they are inside a ‘one-chance bus’, because Buhari and his APC have disowned their entire campaign promises by dumping their campaign document titled: ‘My Covenant with Nigerians.’
“This document that they disowned in August, last year, contained everything they promised Nigerians and if, today, President Buhari chose faraway Qatar to announce that he won’t pay the N5, 000 promised unemployed youths and Lai Mohammed is here in Nigeria saying no job was promised, no one should be surprised.
“Rather, Nigerians can only begin to pray that God, who rescued Daniel from den of lions will rescue us from this Buhari/APC one-chance bus that we have entered,” he said.
