Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has yet again,
lashed out at President Muhammadu Buhari over the

Rivers rerun: Governor Fayose blasts APC-led
government
The outspoken governor was speaking against the
backdrop of recent violent reports that characterized the
rerun elections in Rivers, where a youth corps member
was among those confirmed dead during the series of
attacks.
According to Vanguard, Fayose said that President
Buhari oversaw elections that were remarkably
bloody adding that power belonged to God and should
not be abused by any individual no matter how highly
placed they are.
“I am telling you the truth. Power doesn’t come from
anywhere. God rules in the affairs of men. Oppressing,
bringing and cutting people down, taking their blood, God is
angry. The way this government is taking people down, God
is angry. God isn’t happy. Go to Rivers, they kill people.
“Go to Akwa Ibom, they kill people. Go to Bayelsa, they kill
people, incarcerate innocent people. God is angry with
Buhari. You can’t continue to take the blood of the
innocent. Look at my predictions for the year 2016 for
Nigeria, everything has come to pass.

“This is a different ball game. He that will take me, he that
will go against me must first of all defeat God. If these
were the kind of violence that greeted Buhari’s election
would he ever be president?” Fayose queried.
Governor Fayose also gave his opinion on the possible
outcome of the just-concluded retreat of the National
Economic Council (NEC) in Abuja, stating
vehemently that the present economic situation in the
country indicates that President Buhari lacks technical
competence to solve the country’s challenges.
The governor had also stated on Monday, March 21,
that he has been waiting for President Buhari to declare
state of emergency in Ekiti state bu t warned that
imposing state of emergency on Rivers and Ekiti state
will not work in both states.
He insisted that power has gone back to the people but
cautioned leaders to beware of the actions they take
while in office as such decision may hunt them in the
future.
When asked his thoughts on the possible declaration of
state of emergency in Rivers, he said: “ They have been
insinuating that too in Ekiti. We have been waiting for
them. Power has gone beyond the leaders; power has gone
back to the people.”
