Nigerians deserve to know the truth about President Buhari’s sudden vacation - Fayose

Read the press statement below..

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose
has said that the statement issued by the
Presidency on President Mohammadu
Buhari’s sudden vacation was vague,
saying; “Nigerians deserve to know the
truth about their President because the
President is an open book that every
Nigerians should be free to read.”

The governor, who said he was aware of the
high-wire plot to use the Supreme Court to
upturn his electoral victory, insisted that
nothing will stop him from speaking the truth
concerning issues in the country.

He said it was suspicious that a president, who
told Nigerians that he was embarking on official
visit to France and Britain, last Tuesday, would
suddenly commence a five-day vacation while
still in the United Kingdom.

According to a statement issued by his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor, who prayed
for safe return of the President, said “Nigerians
deserve to know where exactly their president is
spending his vacation.”

He however commended the President for
handing over to the Vice President as stipulated
by the Constitution of the country.

He said; “We were told last Tuesday, that Mr
President was travelling to France and from
there to London to attend the Syria Donor
Conference, and that he would return to Nigeria
this weekend.
“All of a sudden, we were told that the
President was embarking on a five-day
vacation. Where and why? We were not told.
“Curiously, it was at this same period, last year
that President Buhari, who was at that time the
All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential
candidate, disappeared from public, with lies
told about him granting interviews in London.
“It is therefore important that in future, the
presidency should be more explicit in
communicating with Nigerians on issues
regarding the President because a nation’s
president is an open book that can be read by
anyone.”
