Mr. Ayodele Fayose and Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode
Ekiti State Governor, Mr.
Ayodele Fayose, and former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, have attributed the difficult economic
situation Nigerians are currently facing to the wrong policies of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) led by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In separate statements they issued yesterday, the two
chieftains of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said the economic situation
of Nigerians had gone inferior since the inception of the present
administration led by Buhari.
Specifically, Fayose
said Nigerians were suffering under the APC government because "the
country is in the hands of wrong managers who do not know what to do and out of
partiality, not ready to be assisted by those who know."
The governor said: "Presently, Nigerians are suffering,
hungry and angry because the APC federal government has run the country stranded,"
adding that: "Nigeria has gone beyond downturn, the economy has collapsed
completely and painfully, those who should revive the economy do not have any
clue as to what to do."
In a statement issue in Ado-Ekiti by his Special Assistant
on Public Communications, Lere Olayinka,
Fayose said Nigeria was experiencing the worst form of nepotism in the
history of the country, saying: "Nepotism is the reason our president
discarded experienced people in his party that should be running the government
with him and opted for his relatives, friends, in-laws and very close
associates.
"The only qualification to hold key positions in the
presidency is to know a certain nephew of the president or be a member of his
family, that's nepotism and what nepotism breeds is incompetence.
"The most persuasive person in the presidency today is
said to be one Mamman Daura, who is
a nephew of the president. Personal Assistant to President Buhari is said to be the son of Daura while the State Chief of Protocol is said to be married to Daura's daughter,
"It is also the height of nepotism that apart from just
two, all security chiefs and heads of all the paramilitary agencies in Nigeria,
as well as all the political-heads overseeing all the military and paramilitary
arms and agencies are from the North of Nigeria." He said President Buhari was obviously being tormented by
fear of the unknown, which he described as the main reason people take to
nepotism or partiality." As a leader, you don't need to distress anything.
But the moment a leader peeps into the future, realizing that his lack of
capacity could have consequential effects on him, such a leader will definitely
resort to nepotism to protect him." Also, the moment a government is
unable to guarantee the existence of the people, it must resort to nepotism to
protect itself and that is exactly what is being witnessed in Nigeria,
especially with the lopsided appointments of security chiefs and key
functionaries of the federal government," he said. While lamenting the
parlous state of the country's economy, Fayose
said: "Most of those people who aided the emergence of Buhari must be having a rethink now,
but it is too late to rectify……….
"Interestingly, political affiliation has nothing to do
with hunger, poverty and lack.
