Governor
Fayose has said he had been vindicated by the return of Aisha Buhari to
London and insisted that while Nigerians have the right to know about
Buhari's health condition, the president should resign like he said when
Yar'Adua faced same problem.
Governor Ayo Fayose
Fayose: Buhari’s wife hurried trip to London confirms my claim, insists President is on life-support
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said that the hurried
trip embarked to London by First Lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari was a
confirmation that President Muhammadu Buhari’s health had deteriorated,
saying that “It is six days since I addressed the press and today, I still insist that the President is indeed on life-support.”
Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka said the governor, who addressed some journalists
in Lagos on Monday, insisted that “The worsen condition of the
President’s health necessitated the hurried trip of our First Lady, Her
Excellency Aisha Buhari to London and it is hoped that she will have the
courage to tell Nigerians the truth this time around.”
He said “no one is interested in President Buhari’s death.
Rather, we are interested in freeing Nigeria from the hands of these few
individuals who are presently holding the country to ransom.”
Governor Fayose, who maintained that President Buhari must resign, said; “Today is the 184th day of 2017. Out of these 184 days, our President has spent 107 days abroad taking care of his health.
“How does a nation move forward when its President is spending the better part of his time abroad for Medicare?
“For how long can Nigeria and its people wait for a President
who is incapacitated? For how long can our people continue to suffer
just because some people want to hold on to power at all cost?
“That was the reason I raised the issue of President Buhari’s
age, health and mental capacity in 2015 and warned against electing
President him.”
Speaking further, the governor said; “Nigerians should be
reminded that in 2010 when there was uncertainty over the health of the
then President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, President Buhari called on the
National Assembly to impeach Yar'Adua.
“The Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed who was the
Spokesperson of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) also said Nigerians
should be briefed daily on Yar’Adua’s health status. Lai Mohammed said
then that ‘the health of the President, as a public figure cannot be of
interest only to his family and friends. Nigerians have a right to
know.’
“Just the same way President Buhari asked the National Assembly
to remove Yar’Adua in 2010; I am also insisting that the President must
be made to bow out of office so that Nigeria and its people can be
saved from this state of uncertainty.
“No doubt, it has been argued that since Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo is already functioning as Acting President, President Buhari
can be bedridden for as long as his illness last, but the reality that
Nigerians must accept is that the Acting President cannot fully exercise
the powers of the President.
“However, pending his resignation, I am also aligning myself
with what Lai Mohammed said in 2010 on Yar’Adua’s health by demanding
that he (Lai Mohammed) should begin a daily briefing of Nigerians based
on authentic details provided by the President's doctors.
“Nigeria belongs to all of and its collective interest remains
greater than those of any individual or group and together, we must save
Nigeria.”
