fayose hails National Assembly for rejecting
Buhari’s anti-people policies; Says; “It is
vote of no confidence”
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has
hailed the National Assembly for standing
firm against the anti-people policies of the
President Mohammadu Buhari-led All
Progressives Congress (APC) in recent times,
saying; “persistent rejection of the President
Buhari’s policies by a National Assembly
that is controlled by his own party is
an indirect way of passing vote of no
confidence on the President and a call to
action by the president and his men to take
proper stock.”
The governor, who expressed happiness that
“even the National Assembly members have
now seen what he had seen since the
beginning of thepresent APC led Federal
Government and are now standing up in
defence of the ordinary Nigerians, who are
suffering as a result of bad
policies of the federal government.”
In a release issued on Thursday by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor
Fayose said it was heart-warming that the
National Assembly helped Nigerians to
prevent the planned data tariff increase, with
the National Communication Commission
(NCC) suspending the new minimum pricing
template for data services by mobile
operators in deference to the Senate
resolution.
The governor said; “In the last few months,
the National Assembly as an institution has
come to the aid of the suffering masses of
Nigeria by stopping the federal government
bad policies.
“Some of such major interventions were the
stoppage of the planned data tariff increase,
resolution urging the Nigeria Customs
Service (NCS) to suspend the ban on the
importation of vehicles through land borders,
and opposition of the planned closure of the
Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja, for the repairs of
its runway and the diversion of flights to the
Kaduna airport.
“Particularly, even though elementary
economists should know that ban on the
importation of vehicles through land borders
would cause loss of several thousands of
jobs and further make vehicles unaffordable
for ordinary Nigerians, the federal
government adopted the policy
without minding its adverse effects on
Nigerians.
“Also, they knew that a complete shutdown
of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport,
Abuja and diversion of flights to the Kaduna
airport will endanger the lives of both local
and international air travellers that will have
to travel by land from Kaduna to Abuja and
further jeopardise the economy of the
country.
“Instead of closing the Abuja airport
completely, why not use the VIP section?
“It appears this government of President
Buhari is just here to inflict hardships on
Nigerians and I commend the National
Assembly for standing firmly on the side of
the masses by showing to the whole world
that the President and his government no
longer enjoy the confidence of the people,
especially the suffering masses.”
