- Governor Fayose accused President Buhari of being with Nigerian's suffering
- The Ekiti governor said the president has lost touch with the country's economic realities
- He said every Nigerian is suffering and knows that the economy is bad

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti has lashed out at President Muhammadu Buhari saying his more than three month stay in London for medical treatment has made him lose touch with the country’s economic realities. In a statement issued on Wednesday, August 30 by his special assistant on public communications and new media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said it looked like the president was happy the citizens were suffering.

He said Buhari’s statement that he was pleased with the country’s economy situation was pitiful. He said: “It is like the President endorsing the sufferings of Nigerians and this is painful. “That President Buhari, who met exchange rate at N197 to $1 said that he is pleased with the economy when exchange rate is now N370 to $1 is a clear indication that the government is being run on his behalf.

“The National Bureau of Statistics, in its unemployment report for the fourth quarter (Q4) 2016 said 3.67 million Nigerians became jobless in one year and that the number of unemployed Nigerians rose from 7.51 million at the beginning of October 2015 to 11.19 million at the end of September 2016. “The same NBS, said in its June 2015 to May 2016 National Corruption Report, that over N400bn was paid as bribes to public officials in Nigeria in one year (June 2015 – May 2016). Yet, they will tell Nigerians that they are fighting corruption when indeed, corruption is thriving under the All Progressives Congress government of President Buhari. “As at May 29, 2015 that Buhari became President, bag of rice was less than N8,000, a bag of rice is about N18,000 now, more than 25 states cannot pay workers salary regularly owing to dwindled revenue from the federation account, and someone is telling Nigerians that the economy is doing well? It is clear that the President has lost touch with real economic situation of the country.”

Fayose insisted that every Nigerian was aware of the economic situation of the country and said the president was not telling Nigerians the truth. He said: “Nigerians are hungry, they are suffering and telling them that all is well is like adding salt to their injury.”

Meanwhile, Fayose, on Saturday August 26 promised that all ongoing projects embarked upon by his administration would be completed and handed over to his successor in good condition next year. Fayose, who spoke at the Grand- Finale of the 2017 edition of the Udiroko Cultural Festival in Ado Ekiti, said no single development project embarked upon by his administration would be abandoned; the biting economic recession notwithstanding.
