The Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has blasted president Buhari search for oil in the north saying APC led government lack basic understanding of what it means to diversify the economy.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor reiterated his fear that “Nigeria is in one chance bus”.


“The Chad Basin has been repeatedly prospected for oil by previous regimes for decades at great cost to the NNPC. No oil was ever found in viable or commercial quantities then; least of all now when the global oil market is depressed by excess production and necessitating cutbacks in exploration.”

“The Buhari regime is squandering funds Nigeria can ill-afford at this time, in chasing a fool’s gold to discover oil in the North at all costs. Monies needed to fund the budget and stimulate an economy in recession is being wasted instead in pursuit of a clearly sectional agenda.”

“Yet no one in his party, the media nor the National Assembly is willing to ask questions and challenge an increasingly autocratic government.”


“Nigeria is again being governed as if we are under a dictatorship. While the people face growing hardship and misery from a government that is no longer accountable to them.”

“I’m still thinking how a govt that saved three trillions in 3 months, which means they should be saving 12 trillions in one year, and recovered more than $100 billion (about 30 trillions) from looters, is expecting $120 billion from Dubai, including proceeds from Brutai’s $1.2 million mansion is struggling to fund common 6 trillions Naira budget.

If anything APC and Buhari told Nigerians contain 0.2% truth, by this time Nigeria will have enough money to fund 6 trillions budget for four years.”

We wana diversify n still looking for oil deposits in the north?
You see their plans? Already tired of the avengers?

We just have hypocrites n liars in power. Looking for a way to neglect the south, fund the north, loot without question and continue with oil money.. No plans to diversify!

fayose on point. imagine dullard wey dey scream diversification dey obssessed with oyel anyway as long as d dullard is not exporting a single drop of crude fron niger delta, he is free to look for his oyel in d north. at least we now know why dullard remove kachikwu as gmd of nnpc to pursue his northern agenda.

In Dullards view, looking for oil in the north is called diversification

diversification doesn't take place over night... it's a gradual process. somebody should tell FAYOSE that... we wanting to diversify doesn't mean that our oil should be neglected.. diversification and drilling of oil goes side by side....

The source though

And diversification means abandoning oil completely??
We will still try to improve our daily output to over 6 million bpd (because we have the potential) But for a fully diversified economy that should make up less than 20% of our revenue...
And mind u he is not only looking for oil in the North... He is also pushing our water boundary down south by many kilometre and this will add 10s of oil blocks to Nigeria... But they are all blind to see that.
All tired of all this blind leaders

see u.. 4 ur shallow mind u de Mk sense?

That's northern definition of Diversification: leave the south and look north.

yeye dey smell...i just check dullard dictionary and diversification means taking the focus from south to north because of the fear of NDA

To ur tents oh Israel, Nigerians can't do anything to this curse of a government until 2019, and if u all thing pmb will win 2019 election with the rate of hardship in now should think twice

guy u well so, abi u dey suffer from blood cloth in ur brain? Abi u self na dullard

Somebody needs to tell Fayose that diversification from oil doesn't mean abandoning oil. The nation needs the income from oil to aid in the diversification.

no be only blood cloth.... even blood trouser... I'm done with you.

Chaiii Fayose make sense die!!

How is Foyose diversifying the economy of Ekiti state? Maybe the federal government will learn a thing or two from him.

The lake chad basin has always been in the news pertaining to oil.....but the nation should not be held to ransome by tge avengers. However this is not the best of times to prospect for oil...now with low prices we should go industrial.
Them industrialists r making a killing now. Go to liberia...cameroun...gabon see nigerian malta...beer...etc and even dangot spagetti and bobo and dansa. Bobo and guiness malt are cheaper than bottled water in cameroun and gabon!!

Hello my dumb friend, in case u didn't know. The same southerners u claim have the oil are those who are suffering pollution n wallowing in poverty. In true sense, they never had the oil.

No body said you should neglect YOUR OIL. Fayose is simply instating that you and d dullard could have simply told us you want to look for more oil than saying you want to diversify the economy. Nigeria already has oil...... tell your dullard to concentrate on other things not present in nigeria at the moment. Countries that do not have oil still found means to survive.

Please they should intensify their search and find enough oil in the north.

It would be easy to get Bia*** if they find their own oil.

That aside, fayose has spoken very well.

This is the greatest Yoruba man dead or alive.

Wacko.. While they occupy all power seats?

LOL OUR OIL.

i respect ladies... but urs gonna different... I ask u, is there anything wrong if d notherners discover oil in their own domain? so drilling of oil is an exclusive right belonging 2 only d southerners? if we stopped d drilling of oils now, how are we gonna survive considering d fact that d diversification is a gradual process? Nigeria survival is on oil exportation and right now.. d Niger delta Avengers are trying 2 show us they are d landlords... so u expect d president 2 fold his hands and watch them take down his administration? if other countries that doesn't av oil are surviving... it then surely means that their survival is tied 2 something that has been there right from Time.next time u quote me without any sensible facts 2 back up ur claims... ur 2 breasts will sag instantly.. if they are still firm... COCONUT HEAD.

tell them please!

And again, fayose is making sense

We've oil in abundant but we can't fund our budget so why wasting more money searching for oil. It's northern agenda.

Only fayose and femi kayode is d only yoruba elder i like a lot because of their deep wisdom. 80% of yoruba elders lack wisdom .
