Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has
said the poor state of the nation’s
economy will continue throughout
the tenure of President Muhammadu
Buhari and will lead to the collapse of his
government.
Speaking during the Thanksgiving Service
marking the First Anniversary of the
Fifth Assembly of the Ekiti State House of
Assembly at the Government
House Chapel, Ado Ekiti on Sunday,
Fayose said the All Progressives Congress-
led government would fail
woefully in addressing the problem.
According to a statement by the Special
Assistant (Media) to the Speaker, Stephen
Gbadamosi, the governor claimed he
decided to go on solidarity strike with the
workers in the state when it dawned on
him that the Federal Government had
failed and would continue to fail in
revamping the nation’s economy.
“I am not a prophet of doom, but I must
tell you the truth. It is this economic
downturn that will pull down the Buhari-led
government. Mark my word. The economy
will improve, but it will be too late in the
life of the Buhari-led government.
“God is angry with the Buhari-
led government. It is shedding the blood of
too many innocent people.
“Soldiers would enter the home of poor
village people and gun them down in cold
blood. There is too much of blood-
shedding. Look at what they did to that
innocent woman in Kano.
I am telling you that God allowed them to
get into government so that they would be
exposed; so that everyone would see their
inability and hypocrisy,” he said.
Earlier, Speaker Kola Oluwawole in his
speech explained that the principle of
separation of power did not envisage
bickering among the arms of government.
“When people say we are Fayose’s boys in
the House, I just watch them display their
ignorance. A journalist once asked me
such a question. I just told him that God
will make him a state governor one day,
and that when he gets there, he should put
his enemies in the Assembly.
“Our enemies did not want us to get to the
Assembly, let alone clocking one year in
office or getting the Assembly to stand.
“When you say someone is a rubber stamp,
it means that person is a fool or moron. By
all standards, members of the Ekiti State
House of Assembly are no fools or morons.
We have virtually all professional callings
represented in the House. Only morons can
be rubber stamp.”
