Nigerians are suffering and the economy has “completely collapsed” because President Muhammadu Buhari is confused and does not know how to lead, Ekiti state governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, said on Sunday as he re-launched his attacks against the man he had repeatedly said was trying to decimate the opposition party.
Mr. Fayose said Nigeria is “in the hands of wrong managers who do not know what to do and out of nepotism, not ready to be assisted by those who know.”
“Presently, Nigerians are suffering, hungry and angry because the APC federal government has run the country aground,” he said, adding that “Nigeria has gone beyond recession”.
He said the economy has “collapsed completely and painfully, those who should revive the economy do not have any clue as to what to do.”
In a release issued in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said Nigeria was experiencing the worst form of nepotism in the history of government in the country, saying; “nepotism is the reason our President discarded competent people in his party that should be running the government with him and opted for his relatives, friends, in-laws and very close associates.”
He said: “The only qualification to hold key positions in the Presidency is to know a certain nephew of the President or be a member of his family, that’s nepotism and what nepotism breeds is incompetence.
“The most influential person in the Presidency today is said to be one Mamman Daura, who is a nephew of the President. Personal Assistant to President Buhari is said to be the son of Mamman Daura while the State Chief of Protocol said to be married to Mamman Daura’s daughter.
“It is also the height of nepotism that apart from just two, all security chiefs and heads of all the paramilitary agencies in Nigeria, as well as all the political-heads overseeing all the military and paramilitary arms and agencies are from the North of Nigeria”.
