Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose said President Muhammadu Buhari has a lot of explanations to do over the violence and loss of lives being witnessed in Rivers State.
According to Fayose, members of the APC were emboldened to unleash violence on the people of Rivers State and other parts of the country because they know that President Buhari won’t lift a finger against any of his party members perpetrating evil.”
His words: “Those who called the Ekiti State governorship election in which soldiers and other security agents made sure that there was no violence, no loss of lives during and after the election and no ballot was snatched ‘Ekiti Gate’ should be asked what the Rivers election in which eight people were killed and several others injured, will be called.”
Fayose, who made the statement through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, accused President Buhari of culpability in the killings in Rivers State, adding that the INEC has destroyed the legacy of free, fair and transparent elections bequeathed to Nigeria by the PDP government of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said: “Can President Buhari fold his arms if the people being killed are from Daura in Katsina State? Is it that any soul that is not a Fulani is not important to the President?”
While calling for the immediate sack of INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the governor said Nigerians must ask questions as to how INEC produced results sheets for over 230 polling units with PDP omitted.
