FAYOSE LISTS REASONS WHY BUHARI IS NIGERIA’S WORST PRESIDENT
EVER
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
State has asserted that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government
is the most corrupt in the history of Nigeria.
Fayose made the allegation while
accusing the President of “treating corruption involving his men as family
affair.”
In a statement issued by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the Governor
wondered why the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, finds it
difficult to go after those close to the President but are always quick to
prosecute Nigerians opposing Buhari.
According to Fayose, “When miscreants
write petitions to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against
perceived opponents of President Buhari, EFCC will act immediately, but when known
Nigerians, including members of Buhari’s government raise allegation of
corruption against close allies of the President, the EFCC will look the other
way.
“As posited by APC Senator, Shehu
Sani, we are in a situation where perfume is being sprayed on corruption when
it affects Buhari’s men while insecticide is being sprayed on corruption when
it involves perceived political opponents of the President.
“When allegation of corruption is
made against Buhari’s men, EFCC acts like pet dog, but when it is against those
whose faces the President does not like, the anti-graft agency acts like lion.
“No nation can achieve greatness with
such a partial leadership.
“While Nigerians are still asking
questions as to what has happened to the report of the committee that
investigated the $43 million discovered in an apartment at Osbourne Towers,
Ikoyi, Lagos, allegation of $25 billion was made by the Minister of State for
Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, and as usual, the allegation like others
before it, is being treated as family affairs.
“Before now, the Acting Chairman of
EFCC, Ibrahim Magu was indicted of corruption by the Department of State
Service (DSS) and all that was done by President Buhari was to ask the Attorney
General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), to
investigate the DSS report. Up till today, nothing has been heard about it and
Magu, despite his rejection by the Senate, is still acting as the EFCC
chairman.
“Up till today, Nigerians are yet to
be told the owner of the Legico Shopping Plaza, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria
Island, Lagos inside which the EFCC claimed that it found N448.8 million cash.
“Despite the presence of CCTV
cameras, we have not been told the identities of those who brought the five
sacks in which the EFCC claimed that it found N49 million cash to the Kaduna
Airport.
“As far as I am concerned, President
Buhari is not fighting any corruption. He is fighting his political foes and
God is not a God of double-standard. This Buhari’s government is a government
of double-standard.”
