Ekiti state governor , Ayodele Fayose has said that the All
Progressives Congress ( APC ) and its presidential candidate ,
General Muhammadu Buhari ( rtd ) no longer have moral
rights to participate in the March 28 presidential election
having lied to Nigerians on several occasions.
In a press statement issued in Ado -Ekiti by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, the governor noted with dismay the contemptuous
manner in which the APC and Buhari hold Nigeria and its
people .
The governor, who vowed that Nigeria will never be ruled by
deceit , said ; “In saner climes , you can’ t lie and be
discovered to have lied repeatedly as done by the APC and
still want to stand for elections .”
He noted that: “The new deceit from the APC is to use a
photoshopped picture of Buhari for posters in Lagos, making
him look like a 50 year old man , whereas he is as old as my
mother and cannot survive the rigours of office even as a
governor not to talk of President of Nigeria . ”
He addeed that it was appalling that despite being found to
have lied on several occasions, the APC has never deemed it
necessary to apologise to Nigerians for trying to deceive
them . His words; “First, the APC Vice Presidential candidate ,
Prof Yemi Osinbajo , a supposed pastor posted picture of
Reinhard Bonke crusade on his Twitter handle , claiming that
the picture was that of APC campaign rally in Kano .
“Second, the APC claimed that Buhari made a surprise visit
to Chibok and went further to lie that the people and
parents of Chibok girls were filled with hope and joy upon
sighting Buhari and his entourage, and escorted him into
Chibok with singing and dancing.
“Third, the APC cabal claimed that Buhari travelled to the
United Kingdom on a working visit and used fake pictures to
back up their lies that Buhari met with ex -British Prime
minister, Tony Blair and had a television interview in
London .”
“Even when Buhari’ s wife admitted that her husband was in
the UK to rest , the APC cabal went on with their lies, using
pictures taken in Transcorp Hilton , Abuja as proof of
Buhari’ s activities in London .
“If a party and its candidate could lie so brazenly as done
by the APC and Buhari , do they still have moral rights to
want to rule Nigeria ?” he quizzed .
“God forbid, can Buhari and his APC cabals that are not
truthful about their existence as human beings be trusted to
be truthful to Nigerians if they take over power ?”
