2019: Why not flag-off your campaign in Yobe, Borno or Zamfara? Fayose asks Buhari

The former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has wondered
why President Muhammadu Buhari planned to flag-off his 2019
presidential campaign in Akwa Ibom State, instead of Zamfara, Borno
or Yobe States.

On his verified Twitter handle, Fayose lamented about the number
of Nigerians who were being killed in Zamfara State and claimed
that all Buhari did was make a phone call.

Fayose bashed Buhari over his plan to kick-off his campaign in
Akwa Ibom, a state, which Fayose claimed to have been made peaceful
by the Peoples Democratic Party-led government of Governor Emmanuel
Udom.

He tweeted, “Nigerians are being killed in Zamfara, President
Buhari could only make “phone calls”. But he is going to Akwa Ibom,
a state made peaceful by the PDP Govt of Mr UdomEmmanuel to flag
off his campaign. Why can’t he do the flag off in Zamfara, Yobe or
Borno?”

Buhari had on Tuesday revealed that he would be kicking off his
2019 presidential campaign in the PDP-controlled state.
