Against the background of the violence that apparently characterized the rerun elections in Rivers State, Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has lashed out at president Muhammadu Buhari, saying that God is angry with him.
According to the governor, the president superintended over elections that were remarkably bloody.
The governor who spoke with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday chronicled the lists of elections held under the present government, stating that power belonged to the God and should not be abused by any individual no matter how highly placed.
He said: “I am telling you the truth. Power doesn’t come from anywhere. God rules in the affairs of men. Oppressing, bringing and cutting people down, taking their blood, God is angry. The way this government is taking people down, God is angry. God isn’t happy. Go to Rivers, they kill people.
“Go to Akwa Ibom, they kill people. Go to Bayelsa, they kill people, incarcerate innocent people. God is angry with Buhari. You can’t continue to take the blood of the innocent. Look at my predictions for the year 2016 for Nigeria, everything has come to pass. This is a different ball game. He that will take me, he that will go against me must first of all defeat God. If these were the kind of violence that greeted Buhari’s election would he ever be president?”
Speaking further on the likely impact of the just concluded expanded retreat of the National Economic Council, NEC in Abuja, Governor Fayose stated that the present economic situations in the country indicated that president Buhari lacked technical competence to solve the problem of the country.
Even though he specifically praised the idea, the governor wondered if it would not the just a talk shop.
