Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has raised the alarm over the imminent collapse of the county’s economy, saying the President Muhammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress (APC) government was yet to show any sign that it has any solution to the dwindling economy.



The governor, who called on Nigerians to prevail on President Buhari to stay at home and govern the country, said it was the height of insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians that the President, who just returned from trips to France and United Kingdom will again be traveling to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar from February 20 to 27, spending seven days out of Nigeria in what they called “three-nation tour.”

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor lamented the lack of a clear cut economic direction from the Federal Government, saying, “It is worrisome that President Buhari does not have any economic team and there is no policy direction yet, despite spending close to nine months in office.”

Fayose said: “The implication of the President’s obvious lack of the required mental capacity to tackle the nation’s economic problems and the resultant effects are human right abuses, prices of goods and services skyrocketing, daily retrenchment of workers, folding up of businesses, States finding it difficult to pay workers salary and the Federal Government not being able to prepare common budget.”

The governor described what is being experienced by Nigerians as the sum total of President Buhari’s mental capacity, adding that “With President Buhari, Nigeria is definitely having a square peg in its round hole.

“Dollar has gone double since Dr Goodluck Jonathan left office, with US Dollar exchanging for N350 as at today, Foreign Reserve is declining on daily basis, Boko Haram insurgents have come back even stronger than they were when Buhari assumed office and Nigerians are now being made to pay more for electricity that is not available for them to use.

“Most importantly, prices of foodstuffs, newsprint, medicine among others have gone over the roof. Should we still continue to attribute all these to Jonathan or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)?

“Even former Central Bank Governor (CBN) and Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is saying that President Buhari’s anti-corruption stance is totally inconsistent with the forex regime he supported and that the Federal Government Forex Policy encourages corruption and rent-seeking.

“Funny enough, some people are already talking about President Buhari’s second term not minding the reality that anybody thinking about Buhari’s second term is only planning to snuff life out of Nigerians,” the governor said.

While urging the president to focus more on the dwindling economy and stay at home to attend to critical issues, Governor Fayose said, “Travelling from one country to another won’t solve any of our problems because I have not seen where foreigners assist any nation to develop.

“The President should know that Nigerians are suffering and they do not need their President to junket around the world, to alleviate their sufferings.”

This people jst thinks highly of themselves.

saying it as it is

This picture of PMB looks like a student that studied and prepared for english exam but gets to the exam hall to see mathematics questions paper.

opposition or no oppositiom our leaders need to think outside the box. I believe in every problem facing one as an individual or a nation there is an opportunity.

pipul like buari ar known to perform excellently well as traditional rulers, not as president. he does not have d necessary brain pawa to navigate a country in d 21st century let alone turn around d economy. d only language buari understand very well is cattle rearing.

Seriously, did fayose really just question Buhari mental capability?

Foyose what's ur economic blueprint for Ekiti people? What solution have u provided for Ekiti people? U rant like an Infant.Ekiti people really need ur governance.stop displaying such imbecilic atitude.Nigeria will surely bounce back despite the challenges.

When we bonafide Ekiti indigenes hear APC we nearly get hypertensive.... We clearly understand what it means... Eeti ri nkankan...we love Fayose...
By the time APC finishes developing your destiny Osun State workers will be very wealthy compared to you.... The fear of APC change programs is why we acutely love Fayose! My Igbo traders.... I have only one advice for you... Either you flee Nigeria now early enough or change all your money to dollars and start farming ...not for sale o but for survival! The worst is yet to come.... And it won't come until late 2018

ogashman:
Biafra 1-0 nigeria

So your so called "Biafra" are so lily-livered that you have to rely on an illiterate Yoruba man to face Buhari?

Your IPOB hero is now permanently in the custody of the Zoo and yet heavens have not fallen

When will IPOB ask Fayose to be the navigator of their IPOB dream?

I wonder how Ojukwu is feeling right now? His people now regard Yoruba men as heroes because IPOB are so weak

The joke is you IPOB youth

True talk to Fayose.
BUBU doesn't have any economic plan.

Clueless

Flashh:
Ẹ̀gbọ́n Fayose, if you think Buhari is not capable and you want the post, come and collect it and stop ranting like a kid.

Show me PMB's economic team.... I laff at people like you... They're loafing around in Ekiti now... APC agenda is of evil...not one of you will be smiling by 2018....forget the rigging claims.... We sent fayemi packing without regret.....

Finish him( Mortal Combat). Buhari the travelling Ajalla of our time.

They voted for Buhari just to show thé SE

Now, tell me, is this the change you were hoping for ?
$1=N365 ??

After voting for the dullard,what next ?
Black people are their own problems , use the last election as a case study (people chose ethnic and religious sentiments over facts )

Presently, Only sacred cows like fayose can complain, business shutting down,govt workers salaries still on voicemail , no money for the masses to patronize farmers that Gej's agricultural projects favored ,worse #Budgetofyams# since independence .

Everybody is wailing !
