Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state, has dismissed the reported meeting of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo with President Muhammadu Buhari in London as another attempt to hoodwink Nigerians on the President’s health.
Fayose argued that the Presidency must produce a live video of the president addressing Nigerians, “not a visit in which no photo or video was made available to the public.”
“President Buhari has spent 65 days out of the country since he left on May 7, 2017 and no one has seen him. Yet, Nigerians are being told that the Acting President Osinbajo visited him with no picture and no video to show except that of his (Osinbajo) entering and leaving the Abuja House in London,” the governor said in a statement signed by his spokesman, Lere Olayinka.
“Today is July 12, making 115 days that President Buhari spent abroad taking care of his health out of the 193 days in 2017, and what Nigerians are being told is that Acting President Osinbajo met him secretly in London, this is ridiculous.
“Should we be talking about President Buhari being met behind the camera by the Acting President at this time or the President resigning so that the country can move forward?
“Isn’t it funny that those who told Nigerians in 2010 that the health of the President, as a public figure cannot be of interest only to his families and friends and that Nigerians have a right to know the president’s state of health are the same people in power now and are feeding Nigerians with tales of Buhari being met behind camera by the Acting President?,” Fayose said.
