According to the bible 'even a fool, when he keeps quiet is thought to be a wise man'

After paying yourself about 720 million naira as benefits from the last time you were governor, you are now making baseless boasts about forfeiting all of your pay. What about all the benefits accruing to you too?

Wat is salary biko nu?
Can we talk about allowances and security votes instead?
I mean an average governor earns about 24million naira annually on salary, but the security vote is about 17billion in the same period. Yet no Security

if there's something the APC uses well, then it's the media. That's a very good means through which they sell their propaganda.

When Jonathan was there, this tax from NLNG went
straight to the federation account.
Fayose, is it not this same Nigeria that me & you live in? Its only you, GEJ and NOI that have been confirming that NLNG tax got into FG account.

Defence put up by his people? This vagabond instructed his deputy to coordinate the thugs that barricaded the entire state and prevented the house of assembly members from coming into town to impeach him. He used thugs to assault judges and opposition party members. I totally agree with him. With the kind of politics he plays in the state, nobody can defeat him. He's a common thug and vagabond. I can't wait for his tenure to be over and for the EFCC to lead him straight to the gallows where he belongs.

To APC goons he's talking rubbish but to the opposition he's making sense. But no matter how you place it, things are not looking well. Buhari is becoming a victim of his own propaganda. They say "wailing wailers" but they forget that this is the same way PDP called APC names until they took over. Buhari must fulfill all his promises. Every elected person likes to celebrate 100days in office, with the pace he's going, he won't be able to give us anything then. Buhari's tenure will show us that who the president is isn't the problem in Nigeria but the system and the entity called Nigeria itself is the problem.

Fayose should understand something his tenure ends before that of PMB, he should dig his grave too shallow so that when he will be push inside he will be able to get out easily. I am a buhari fan(sic) but truth need to be told military men don't forgive easily. And Fayose can't claim his hands are clean. He think he can do a 'tinubu' by leading the opposition, he may have the charisma but he lacks the resources ( money, media, disciples, international connection etc). Ekiti funds can sponsor another state local government election, talkless of using it to win another state. He should be careful

simeonii:
House of assembly and start fumbling, like it was in the days of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. Such things can’t happen again.

“And that brings me to the fact that Ekiti is gone for good from the hands of APC. Even if Senator Bola Tinubu [the leader of APC] becomes the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) chairman, they will lose in Ekiti, because they are not on the ground here. The kind of politics I play is that wherein I tie myself to the people, not the people tying themselves to me. If you look at the processes of the botched impeachment, what happened aftermath, was a defence put up by the people, not even me. We, however, thank God. It was the Lord’s doing.”

He said Nigerians voted the ruling party because they wanted change but rather that meet their expectations, Buhari has been playing to the gallery.

Fayose said the pace of the current administration is “too slow”, dismissing the impression that his state received any form of bailout from the federal government.

“The people said PDP was not doing it well, they voted us out. Okay. PDP was not doing well, let us see what APC has to offer. But for me, they have not started well. This pace is too slow and they are playing to the gallery too much,” he said.

“Apart from other issues like the north/south dichotomy, religious sentiments and change in itself, one of the key reasons, in terms of policy and in terms of needs, why Nigerians voted for President Buhari is security. They want to be secure.

“Everybody was shouting “bring back our girls”, the APC was shouting that Jonathan had no capacity and that the moment Buhari comes in, within 30 days, Boko Haram will be inside the River Niger. Rather, Boko Haram is now spreading their tentacles and growing in confidence. Both opposition and the government must stay together to fight insurgency, but I need to remind them that they were the people politicising this thing.

“So, it has come to the fore. But it is a different ball game now: governance and opposition. When they were in opposition, they could be using propaganda to deceive the people, bamboozle them and use the press to their advantage. But you cannot use propaganda to lead the people. Look at an instance: they came out to say that they had done a bailout. To whom did they give the bailout? Are they also bailing themselves out? Nobody has bailed Ekiti out. We have only got our legitimate allocation which is tax from NLNG.

“It was Ekiti’s basic entitlement under the allocation procedures. I got N2.1 billion and my wage bill is N2.6 billion. So, when you now say bailout, a bailout that cannot pay one month’s salary, how do you explain that? I said about a week ago that there’s no issue of bailout and I cannot be telling the APC-led government that that they are deceiving Nigerians and playing to the gallery. The so-called bailout issue is playing to the gallery. So, to me there’s no issue of bailout. When Jonathan was there, this tax from NLNG went straight to the federation account.

“Today, they are in power, they can say whatever they have to say. Jonathan is gone, they should leave Jonathan alone and face the act of governance. They said PDP cannot do it well; they are there now. They should, please, try their best for us and leave propaganda.

“Another thing is that the president and vice-president announced that they will forfeit 50 percent of their salaries. That is also playing to the gallery. I can forfeit everything, because salary is meaningless. I’m ready to forfeit all of my own… the whole salary, not half, because we know the truth. We know where people in government make money.

“The president should go a little bit further and forfeit other benefits he enjoys. For instance, all the benefits of the state house in Abuja and protocol. There are a lot of benefits that will accrue to the president in terms of travelling, in terms of sitting allowances and other allowances that are due the president. He must cut the cost, because the benefits are more far-reaching than salary. The president’s salary is N1.1 million. Is the president telling us that he has forfeited N550,000 to Nigerians to change our fortune? No.

“Even my own salary is about N700,000; I’m ready to give it out without complaining and I’m not going to announce it on the radio or television. And, interestingly, you cannot forfeit it by words of mouth, because there is nowhere you will post it anyway in the revenue mobilisation law. You can take it and use it to promote the cause of Nigerians, but don’t tell us you are ready to forfeit half of your salary and it’s a big deal. No, it’s not.

“They should be able to take decisive steps to advance the cause of Nigerians beyond sentiment.

“They’ve been there almost two months and they had about seven weeks before swearing-in. Yet, they’ve not been able to give us direction that they mean well. I’m speaking this way because I’m in the opposition, I’m not in their party.”
