Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has pleaded with leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC, especially former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu to be human enough to allow the party’s presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) embark on his planned medical trip abroad.
The governor said Buhari was being prevented from traveling abroad for medical treatment, despite his ill-health so as to avoid controversies.
Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka quoted Governor Fayose as saying at a
campaign rally in Omuo Ekiti, Ekiti East Local Government that "Buhari
is a car with a damaged engine but being packaged by Tinubu and his
cabal whose only interest is the wealth of Nigeria."
He said; "In all the campaign rallies held by the APC, Buhari never spoke for more than six minutes.
"Buhari will just utter some words that he had rehearsed
and any attempt to bring in new words always result to confusion in his
brain due to senility. That was the reason he called his running mate
Osunbade instead of Osinbajo and also referred to Imo State as Ibo
State.
"This is clear evidence of ill-health, old and and
senility. Those packaging Buhari to achieve their personal ambition of
gaining unhindered access to the wealth of Nigeria should fear God and
allow this old man to take care of his health," the governor said.
Speaking further, Fayose, who insisted that "Buhari is old
and sick said; "they had programmed Buhari to travel to the U.S on 26th
of this month, but they opted out when the secret trip was reported in
the media.
"As a cover-up, the APC cabal sold a story to the press
that Buhari was invited to attend a programme in the US by the Center
for Strategic and International Studies, (CSIS).
"Interestingly, the CSIS programme was billed for January
26, the same day Buhari was said to have planned his medical trip to the
United States of America.
