'Buhari will never be Nigeria's president again' - Ayo Fayose

Ekiti state Gov. Ayo Fayose

Press statement released from Ekiti state governor's office. Read below...

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has stated that the hope of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to come to power in Nigeria, using Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) will be dashed saying; "Buhari will never be Nigeria president again."

The governor also challenged Gen. Buhari to swear by the Holy Quran that he did not visit hospital in the United Kingdom last week.

While speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor reiterated; "I wish they can see spiritually what I am talking about that Buhari,  despite the hullabaloo, Buhari will never be president. I personally predicted my return as Ekiti State Governor and I am predicting it again that Buhari will never rule Nigeria again.

"After President Jonathan, there will be a younger element in his late 50s from the North that will be Nigeria's next president. I want to liken this prediction to the story of Elijah and Elisha. I represent Elijah while my followers are Elisha."

While reiterating that he was not wishing Buhari dead, Governor Fayose said; "I owe it a duty to Nigerians to expose the antics of the APC cabal whose only interest is to seize power to further their selfish personal interests.

"Without doubt, it is apparent that these cabal in the APC are trying so hard to lie to Nigerians on Buhari’s health status.  That's the reason behind them using photoshoped pictures to defend their lies on Buhari's UK trip.

"First, they used a picture dated March 5, 2013 picture, alleging that Buhari was taking a walk in London on Thursday. Later they released another poorly cropped picture of Buhari with former British Prime Minister,Tony Blair.

"The same cabal who lied in September 2012 that they received a gold card invitation to attend the Democratic National Convention in the United States of America are still behind the robing of Gen. Buhari in the garment of lies and I challenge Buhari to swear by the Holy Quran that he did not visit hospital in the United Kingdom last week.

"However, I want to disappoint this selfish people. Muh'd Buhari is only raising their hope and that hope will be dashed."
