The Governor of Ekiti State Governor,  Ayodele Fayose, blast President Buhari over his claim that many of those who looted funds under the former administration have started returning looted the funds.

Fayose fires the president to stop junketing around the globe “acting like a saint” before the international community stating  he should stay home and govern his country.

The governor challenged the president to tell Nigerians how much was returned and the looters who returned the stolen funds, adding that “since the purported looted funds belong to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it ought to have been paid into the Federation Account and shared by the Federal, State and Local Government”.

The Ekiti governor’s spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, said in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday that Governor Fayose advised President Buhari to tackle the collapsed economy of the country headlong instead of going from one country to another, casting aspersion on Nigerians with his “sing-song of fighting corruption”.

He said the president’s attitude was yet to change from that of 1984 when he was military Head of State.

“Buhari’s statement in Tehran, Iran that it was easier for him as a military Head of State in 1984 to arrest corrupt individuals and put them in protective custody was a pointer to the fact that he has not changed from the dictator that he was then,” Mr. Fayose said.

“The truth is that Buhari did not fight corruption in 1984. Rather, he persecuted great Nigerians, especially the likes Chief Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ambrose Ali, Chief Bisi Onabanjo, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Bola Ige, who served the people meritoriously.

“Is Buhari justifying the imprisonment of Dr Alex Ekwueme, who was only the Vice President or All Progressives Congress (APC) leader like Chief Bisi Akande, who only served as a Deputy Governor?”

While urging the president to stop acting like the sole administrator of Nigeria and the only honest man among Nigerians, Governor Fayose said “Nigerians are desirous of concrete developments, not rhetoric about fight against corruption that is only being used to persecute perceived political enemies of the president both in the Peoples Democratic Party , PDP, and within the APC”.

“As at today, Nigerians are faced with serious hardship occasioned by prolonged fuel scarcity that the Federal Government does not have any

solution to. Multinational companies are laying-off thousands of workers while contractors working for the Federal Government have left their sites. Yet, what we get to hear from the president is noise in foreign lands about non-existing fight against corruption.

“Honestly, this president should get to work and stop lying to Nigerians and the international community,” he said
