Fayose' Nigerians suffering, Buhari touring the world,' Gov slams President again
Fayose says Buhari's current trip to the United States for the 4th
Nuclear Security Summit at a time Nigerians are groaning in pain is
laughable.
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has again slammed President Muhammadu Buhari over his incessant foreign trips.
Fayose
says Buhari's trip to the United States on Wednesday, March 30, for the
4th Nuclear Security Summit at a time Nigerians are groaning in pain is
laughable.
The Governor who spoke through his
spokesman, Lere Olayinka, said the President should stop "junketing
around the world, wasting the country’s scarce foreign exchange."
“It
remains a mystery what President Buhari that met power generation at
6,000MW and could not manage it such that power generation crumbled to
Zero Megawatt yesterday, will contribute to the Nuclear Energy Summit in
America.
“It is shameful that while
President Buhari was far away in the United States of America, attending
a summit that does not have any bearing on Nigeria and its people, an
unprecedented happened - power generation stopped completely for over
three hours!”
Fayose alleged that over $50
million must have been spent on the president’s frequent foreign trips,
adding that Nigerians should ask President Buhari whether his trip to
the United States of America to attend Nuclear Energy Summit will bring
the lingering fuel scarcity being experienced in the country to an end.
He said: “Nigerians
are suffering. Petrol has become so scarce that our people now sleep in
petrol stations to buy fuel at N200 per litre while the president who
should alleviate their sufferings is in the USA, attending a summit that
he won’t even understand whatever that is discussed there.
“This
is not acceptable. Mr President should stay at home and see to it that
at least, power generation returns to 6,000MW that he met it if he
cannot add to it.
“Mr President should
stay at home and bring this fuel scarcity that has paralysed almost all
activities in the country to an end.
“Nigerians
are saying their president should stay at home and bring to an end the
killings, raping of women and destruction of farmlands by Fulani
herdsmen.
“Most importantly, the
President should listen more to those of us who criticise him instead of
those hailing every of his wrong steps either because of what they
intend to gain or for fear of persecution.”
