Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said President Mohammadu Buhari was operating as a president of the Northern Nigeria only, describing steps taken by the president since May 29, 2015 as tainted in ethnic and tribal colouration, which is inimical to the unity of Nigeria.
The governor, who descried what he called President Buhari’s “Nothernisation of Nigeria,” said “appointments made by the President so far negate the principle of federal character and it appears the unity in diversity of Nigeria is being taken for granted by the President.”
According to a statement issued on Monday, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said it was wrong for President Buhari to have made 31 major appointments and only seven will come from the South while 24 were from the North.
He asked; “Under Buhari, are people from Southern Nigeria only meant to be hounded and harassed by anti-corruption agencies and the Department of State Security (DSS) while those from the North are meant to enjoy federal government juicy appointments?”
The governor said “apart from lopsided appointments being made by the President, I am worried that construction of Lagos-Ibadan expressway has been slowed down while work has stopped on Lokoja-Abuja roads, which are the major roads linking the Southern part of Nigeria with the North.
“Also, we have been told by the Federal Government that the Second Niger Bridge project has been suspended and one is now beginning to remember how Buhari cancelled the Lagos Metroline Project in 1985 at a loss of over $78 million (then) to the Lagos tax payers.”
Governor Fayose, who maintained that Nigeria can only move forward if there was equity and fairness, said those who made the country’s constitution and enshrined the principle of Federal Character were mindful of the ethnic diversity of the country, adding that President Buhari’s running Nigeria as if he was a Northern Nigeria’s President was not in the interest of the country.
“They said the President made the appointments on merit and I wish to ask whether there are no competent people in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Southern part of Nigeria, especially South-East where no one has been appointed.
“Are they saying Igbo leader like Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, who graduated with a first class honours degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Lagos, is not competent to be appointed as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF)?
“To my mind, these lopsided appointments skewed in favour of the North is a reminder of President Buhari’s tenure as Military Head of State and I hope the President is not seeing Nigeria of today as that of 1984 because doing so will mean that he has turned himself to a northern president, thereby justifying his notion that those who gave him 97 percent votes must get more benefits than those who gave him five percent votes.”

Shame on buhari, he shld continue been the president of aboki
I read all sorts of news but I have noticed yours is obviously partisan.I would have expected you to post a news as worthy as 13 of 19 army generals plea bargaining to refund 1trillion naira meant for the purchase of arms and equipments in the fight against insurgency.They are asking to return the money and not face public probe,A whooping trillion naira and you didn't think to share something as important but you disturb us with irrelevant trump and fayose news.Whilst you are entitled to your own views,your personal views didn't make you a billionaire in asset.Your readers did and not all your readers support this political group over another.
Its only fair you act professional by giving us news and allow us judge who to believe.This people are using you dear.Be careful
Biko,hush it fayose.dont you have work to do besides making political appointments and acting like a tout?!
someone needs to shut this barking Dog up...
True talk fayose..pmb is a northern president
Shame on buhari. In Biafra I stand
You are so on point sir!tell them o.
Word!
First time he is making sense. I am beginning to regret supporting PMB. It seems to me Buhari is a Sadist.
Ekiti must be very easy to govern.
my fellow Libers, u people should see what i saw in somewhere oh!!! Buhari’s Arms Deal Probe: 13 Army Generals Admit Loots, To Return N1trillion
The arms purchase probe panel that was set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to probe contracts executed during the administrations of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua to former President Goodluck Jonathan, has started sitting with not less than 13 allegedly indicted retired generals opting for plea bargain.
A highly placed defence source at the weekend told Nigerian Pilot Sunday that the retired generals numbering 13 out of the 19 that are expected to be quizzed by the probe panel have already approach some members of the panel for amicable settlement of the matter than appearing before the panel.
According to the source, a former National Security Adviser is allegedly the arrowhead of the negotiation, if the members of the panel will accept their request. The security source further added that the 13 retired military chiefs are willing to refund N1 trillion to the federal government as part of the plea bargain arrangement.
The source added that the chairman of the probe panel is yet to take a decision on the proposal given to him by the affected indicted generals. Not fewer than 19 former military chiefs are to be quizzed by the panel.
They are five Chiefs of Defence Staff, 14 Service Chiefs; four National Security Advisers, NSAs and eight former Ministers of Defence. The probe has created panic among retired military chiefs who coordinated arms purchases in the last eight years.
Nigerian Pilot Sunday learnt that five Israelis, who played major roles in arms procurement for the military, in the last six years, are to be invited by the committee, whose members were named on Monday after President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive. The Israelis reportedly left the country on the eve of the general elections, but will be summoned by the probe panel to appear before it.
Zoo president
Continue from here > The government has directed that tight security be provided for members of the panel. The assignment is comprehensive. It will run through many administrations.
The source further added, “The probe will require looking into the administrations of five Chiefs of Defence Staff, 14 Service Chiefs; four National Security Advisers and eight former ministers. It is a Herculean task.
“Already, there is panic in the circle of retired military officers on the intent of the evaluation of arms purchase. Some of these former military chiefs have reached out to panel members to allow them have access to relevant
documents.” The source gave insight into why it is necessary to invite the former CDS, Service Chiefs, NSAs and ex-ministers.
“All arms deals were not subjected to the nation’s procurement laws even though the late President Umaru Yar’Adua specifically said there should be no due process waiver for the military. Nigerian Pilot Sunday gathered that the panel might look into the administration of five Chiefs of Defence Staff, 14 Service Chiefs; four National Security Advisers and eight former Ministers of Defence.

the late Lt.-Gen. Owoye Andrew Azazi (2007-2008);

Fayose Thank You. I kwutere nkea
Seen
hmmmm..nice one sir
Buhari the tribalistic Hausa Goat!
Fayose on the move again
People must stop hiding & not be afraid to come out and speak.
I challenge anyone who will curse this man for speaking his mind, and the truth.
This is 2015 not back in the days.
As big and powerful Nigeria is, no one of its citizens can't be challenged by another, and you shouldn't take the interest of the people for granted.
Buhari so far, judging from his leading-edge characteristics, is a disgrace to elders let alone presidency.
How can you explain this? How can you even defend it? 24 Northerners out of 31?...shit is about to get real!
I begin to detest this man.
He can't be called a true leader.
He needs a summons to contest!
Com◇◇◇◇◇◇ If ignorance is bliss, wipe the smile off my face ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Governor fayse is on point in this particular issue.
Federal character quite different from northerners character, only the southerners believe Nigeria belongs to all and sundry, the northerners have different opinion. This is right time for the southern Nigerians really have to unity and have one voice against northerners characters
The sorry excuse for a president we have, buhari
Well said,(lindy baby)takecare
I am beginning to like this Fayose! He says his mind without caring whose ox is gored
I Hope Fayose knows that Buhari is going to be in aso rock for 4 and a possible 8 years. Wonder how much He can keep his guns blazing without losing focus on governing his own people.
Truth they say is bitter, good job Fayose, tell him and his blind supporters. Bonario the sycophant will be hired as a gate man at Aso rock.
We al kno dat, it's not news.
#*karlishah*
Mr fayose how many of the opposition is in our cabinet? How many people from the eastern part of the country that have contributed to the development of Ekiti state did you add to your cabinet? Did their votes not also count? Please park well n remove d log in your eyes first.
True brother!!! Tell the old northern Islamic bigot that Nigerians are watching. He wants to divide this country. Fayose, I like you for speaking the truth.
I wont say anytin yet sha,nah one eye I tak d look dis malam man
As far as I am concern,Fayose words make no sense to me,when he has finished advising himself on how to respect human being,den I can start making sense of what he says.
Fayose shut up.. shut up fayose.. Fool
Fire on d maintain,
Thank you Fayose for saying it as it is! That old hag called Bhuhari refused to appoint a finance minister since May 29th so that he can siphon and embezzle Nigeria's money without prying eyes or records! He also refused to declare his assets so that he can enrich himself! How do you claim you will fight and eradicate corruption, and you blatantly refused do the minimal requirement of declaring your asset? Isn't that clearly hypocritical? Bhuhari is a 419ner!!!
Fayose please you have said enough of PMB fake changes in all ramifications. Its now time to start educating your South West brothers and sisters, they can't claim to be highly educated yet lack knowledge of history. For the South East and South South they already know those who are with them and those who are against them, and can not buy fake change no matter the intimidation.
Tell them,unity my ass later der will say one Nigeria deceiving people. Linda's last born.
Does anyone notice Fayose's head looking like that of an anaconda?. No wonder he keeps spewing vomit, so disgusting
I agree with Fayose,When Buhari came into power in 1983,he only arrested the VP who was an igbo man from the SE. He didnt arrest Shagari who was the president then. I have never seen a situation where by the VICE PRESIDENT is arrested and the Hausa president is not.
Olodo rotimi shut up
We are waiting to see the manifestation of Buhari's administration. Between Fayose should start living to the votes he got at the polls
Why won't he be right??? Your comments and gestures toward Buhari are known...Dick head!
He is not a bastard and asshole like you...guess who speaks the truth your father fear to speak..infact who is your father ? U son of a nobody
To me this man is an illiterate, the stunt he pulled with the Punch news paper during the election period confirmed it. He acts before he thinks, talks before he thinks and he needs help. It pains me that this man is the governor of my state.
He is simply saying the truth! Majority of the appointment is from the core north. Anu get your ass together!
As someone from Oye Ekiti, I am tired of Fayose and others like him who uses tribalism and ethnic division to foment bad governance and embezzlement of public funds. What is the point of having "our man or woman" who only engages in theft and personal aggrandizement rather than serving the general public. I don't care who Buhari appoints, as long as they delivers. Period!
Mosy mosy I sight you, anony mode activated, nne ndewo
As for me Mohammadu Buhari Is a Big Scammer.
Shat the fuck up, dick breathe @ awolola
Dude I feel ur full of shit most times, but this time u got it right. I say a big AMEN to that prayer
Shat d fuck up, u must be so jobless to have all this time to write this long shitty essay
Hahahahahahahaha u never start to regret, shay una no dey hear words, but tank God ur eyes don clear, may d remaining blind Nigerians receive their sight IJN
Bros ur sooooooo on point
how is he a noise maker?,so he shouldn't speak on equity and fairness shebi,the problem with the supporters of this buhari administration is that they never seem to see anything wrong in what this man is doing,the deep ethnic division that this man is creating will take a long time to heal,this messiah complex that you all are giving to him will shoot you in your foot,because it will only lead to dictatorship, appointment based on competence can be carried out with all zones inclusive.
anon 9:36 have you verified of the news is correct,and must you get it from this blog,you want linda to post unverified news material shebi.
Somebody should tell the "king in the north" that winter is coming and he will need the crows to defend d wall and also the lannisters always pays der debt.
You xpect her to post unverified news,just to satisfy you pple who doesn't want to hear the truth when is spoken against PMB? I think Fayose spoke the mind of a lot pple in nigeria. Hate Fayose or like him,he is courageous man
Instead of buhari to b there for 8yrs there won't be a Nigerian president or d white man will rule Nigeria,buhari is an old sadist can't u see it on his face,evil man he is so revengeful and he will see this time how he will be disgraced out of office.
Everything Fayose said here is absolutely true! Be reasonable Ngalanga.
U are just a sentimental fool for calling him that! Ur father can't even talk in this Nigeria. Big. Fool @ 40
Some dn't like to hear the truth or they 're too daft to understand iy
Ofcourse hhe's a sadist! He refused to appear before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but look at him now probing people! & he's only targeting a few pple. Hv u heard that any past APC governor has been probed? & y cnt he probe from OBJ led administration? Buhari is a sadist, & nothing can change him, except he dies on dt seat & he will surely!
If he thinks moneys were carted away, & can recover them without so much noise, then let him do it without so much noise! Any day, he or any member of his cabinet will loot money, may God strike him! I hope he has recovered all d moneys he got illegally from Abacha's administration, Liar that said the Abacha's didn't steal, while at last huge amounts were recovered from the Abacha's! Buhari is evil! & will die on that seat if he continues to rule Nigeria as if it were his cattle ranch!
U a such a gullible fool then, who can't see the truth in anything
You are the fool! What ur father can't say, another man said..for everybody. What a fool u are!
You are so damn right! The reason he has refused to appoint a finance minister is so he can siphon as much money as he can. We didn't even ask him o, he started campaigning that he 'll declare his assets! He wnts to make his son Finance minister but taking it easy because of people's reaction.
It's ur own head looking like cobra! That's y u cnt c truth, ur head is full of venom!
U are a big illiterate if u can't see reasons in anything he said, it's a pity we hv lots of fools like u in Nigeria, people who think they know but they actually know nothing!
He should face his own government.
All I want is for results to show.
If it doesn't then nigerians should complain.
For all I care, we must move away from tribalism and think about results. That's all
I like this guy cos he's always saying his mind
Fayose on point
IS FAYOSE SAYING NON OF THE HUNDREDS OF PROFESSORS AND PROFESSIONALS ARE NOT COMPETENT ENOUGH TO BE APPOINTED AS CARETAKER CHAIRMAN?? INSTEAD HE APPOINTED AN ILLITERATE AS CHAIRMAN. WHAT HES PASSING ACROSS TO THE NEW GENERATION IS EDUCATION DOESNT MATTER??
In this case Tobi, u are the illiterate.. u are berating a man who speaks the minds of many Nigerians, a man loved by the people of his state.. u should be proud he's ur governor
God bless you Fayose. our children will not forget you in a hurry.
They paint you black so that we will not respect your words. but we have seen the difference between shenji and Change, we have now understood that real change does not need propanganda to strive. 100 days in office and nothing to show. They promised us a lot during the election that will happen in 100days and yet we see nothing except this anti curruption that started with them oooo (another propaganda).
But my fear is 'can the ibo, yoruba and south south unite? can we? can we put the past behind us and see a new us? where we love ourselves than any bigots that tries to disunite us so that they can stab us.
