Fayose Declares Self the Most Senior Nigerian Governor

By Correspondent

The governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Sunday maintained that he is the most senior Nigerian governor, adding that his continuous criticism of the government of President Muhammadu Buhari is based on the fact that he has the responsibility to do so and that it has nothing to do with any 2019 presidential aspiration as alleged by critics. Addressing an interactive forum in Lagos, the Ekiti governor argued that linking him with Senator Ali Sheriff, the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 presidential ticket, remains an attempt to discredit him. While calling on those campaigning for Buhari for a second term to have a rethink, Fayose insisted, ”˜By 2019, the president, who is presently bogged down by age would have become too old to govern. I call on President Buhari to urgently devalue the naira to lessen the pains on Nigerians. ”˜Anybody flying the kite of Sheriff and Fayose is the deceit of the highest order. Again, even if it is the Senate, I am not going to contest. Nobody contests the office of the Vice President you can only become the Vice President of Nigeria if God wants you to be. ”˜May I make it expressly clear that if Ali Modu Sheriff wants to contest as president of Nigeria in 2019, I will not support him, I am a man known for my words of honour. We must operate based on principle if our country is to move forward. ”˜This is cheap blackmail orchestrated to give people the impression that I have an ambition that is why I am doing all these. I am the most senior governor in Nigeria and if I were to be in a party like the APC, they will be celebrating me every day. ”˜They (APC) know I am critical of the bad policies of the APC administration. Those promoting Buhari for 2019 should stop. I have told Nigerians that Buhari does not have the capacity now to govern Nigeria. What capacity will he display in seven years’ time?  Currently, as it stands, the President is challenged by age.’
