The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has carpeted President Muhammadu Buhari’s claim that many of those who looted public treasury in the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan had started returning the stolen funds to the government, saying the president should rather stay at home to govern the country instead of junketing around the globe and “acting like a saint” before the international community.

The governor challenged the president to tell Nigerians how much was returned and the looters who returned the stolen funds, adding that “since the purported looted funds belong to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it ought to have been paid into the Federation Account and shared by the Federal, State and Local Government”.

The Ekiti governor’s spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, said in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday that Governor Fayose advised President Buhari to tackle the collapsed economy of the country headlong instead of going from one country to another, casting aspersion on Nigerians with his “sing-song of fighting corruption”.

He said the president’s attitude was yet to change from that of 1984 when he was military Head of State.

“Buhari’s statement in Tehran, Iran that it was easier for him as a military Head of State in 1984 to arrest corrupt individuals and put them in protective custody was a pointer to the fact that he has not changed from the dictator that he was then,” Mr. Fayose said.

“The truth is that Buhari did not fight corruption in 1984. Rather, he persecuted great Nigerians, especially the likes Chief Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ambrose Ali, Chief Bisi Onabanjo, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Bola Ige, who served the people meritoriously.

“Is Buhari justifying the imprisonment of Dr Alex Ekwueme, who was only the Vice President or All Progressives Congress (APC) leader like Chief Bisi Akande, who only served as a Deputy Governor?”

While urging the president to stop acting like the sole administrator of Nigeria and the only honest man among Nigerians, Governor Fayose said “Nigerians are desirous of concrete developments, not rhetoric about fight against corruption that is only being used to persecute perceived political enemies of the president both in the Peoples Democratic Party , PDP, and within the APC”.

“As at today, Nigerians are faced with serious hardship occasioned by prolonged fuel scarcity that the Federal Government does not have any
solution to. Multinational companies are laying-off thousands of workers while contractors working for the Federal Government have left their sites. Yet, what we get to hear from the president is noise in foreign lands about non-existing fight against corruption.

“Honestly, this president should get to work and stop lying to Nigerians and the international community,” he said.

If not that this man was a military man I would have labelled him a coward.


How on earth will he claimed that our looters have started returning the stolen fund in secret.
Wait o,when has Nigeria become Buhari personal business.

Has he forgotten so soon his US tour and promise that he will operate a transparent government.

If actually looters have returned the stolen fund, does it mean Nigerians don't have right to know how their wealth is used or where it's saved.


Abeg baba, tell Nigerians truth so that we can rely on you.

End time secret transaction!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buhari is already Nigeria's worst president ever!

So ?

As long as it is fayose no problem. He is always on point.

New PDP spokes MAN...

FreeGlobe:
Buhari is already Nigeria's worst president ever!

But he is still the President of all Biafrans

right?

Go for mouth scan you no go listen.

Fayose, the acute headache of APC

Fayose is just leaving by the principle of 'the best way to defend is to attack' going by his constant ramblings.

I am now convinced that he has something he is depending himself from by this antics of regularly attacking the president.

Fayose.. scared of Nemesis since 1954

But it is inevitable

Ekiti gate is Real!

why do you people thnk anyone is scared of Buhari, if you are, we are not... Let Buhari investigate the "ekiti gate" and stop making noise

lalasticlala

Fayose is desperately looking for attention, yet Buhari continues to disregard him.

It must be a miserable experience for Fayose.

am yet to understand why Fayose is the only PDP Governor that faces PMB squarely and bares his mind, his confidence intrigues me.

At least during GEJ time we were told how much of Abacha loot were returned.
Buhari over to you Tell us how much was returned, by whom and why those people have not been arrested. Anything short of above is LIE.

What a FOOL Nigeria has as a President.

How did they elect this FOOL in the first place??

Fayose thank you for standing by the truth at all times.

On another note isn't it a big insult to Electrical Engineers to say that this FOOL'S body odour or supposed integrity is responsible for increase in power supply.

Where does that happen??

I guess only in the Zoo.

It's a pity, u just open your mouth nd talk without some sense of decorum, nd how will u feel if ure parents were called fools

what if his parents are goodluck and patience jonathN?

Clinical, how much was returned n shared to all tiers of government cos it is nigerian money? Was it paid to TSA? Was the 1% of returned loot collected by any company managing TSA?

Many questions yearning for answers:

Buharia the WAEC certificate forger is a serial lier.Bravo Fayose.

Don't expect someone to amend what has been damaged for so long, give PMB to turn around this nation!

“Since the purported looted funds belong to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it ought to have been paid into the Federation Account and shared by the Federal, State and Local Government.”


Perfecto

to be sincere,fayose is on point.looted money that was returned should not be kept in secret.we ought to know the thieves so we will not vote for them again.

One thing I have noticed about APC is that whenever you raise an issue against them, instead of responding with facts and figures and the truth, they reply with hateful words and name calling.

Krinkum krankum or whatever as Patrick the grammarian puts it. Begging the Question
