– A former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, faults the First Lady, Aisha Buhari for campaigning for the reelection of her husband after claiming that a cabal was controlling his government
– Fayose asks if the First Lady is campaigning with the intent to subject Nigerians to another four years of the country under the same cabal that she had accused of hijacking her husband’s government.
– The former governor asked what Aisha Buhari will tell women whose husbands and children that are victims of attacks from violent herdsmen
A former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has challenged the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari, to explain to Nigerians what had happened to the cabal that she alleged had hijacked her husband’s government.
Fayose in a statement on Sunday, January 6, by his media aide, Lere Olayinka, faulted Aisha for campaigning for the re-election of her husband after claiming on several occasions that a cabal controlling her husband’s government made it to fail, The Punch reports.
“In October 2016, the First Lady told Nigerians the truth about the incapacitation of her husband and went on to say that should things continue till 2019 like they were in 2016, she would not go out to campaign for him and ask any woman to vote like she did before,” he said.
“In December last year, she reinforced this position by claiming that a cabal controlling her husband’s government made it to fail. This is January 2019 and the question the First Lady must be asked is; what positive change has Buhari’s government made on Nigeria and its people between 2016 and now?
The former governor asked if the First Lady was campaigning with the intent to subject Nigerians to another four years of rule under the same cabal that she had accused of hijacking her husband’s government.
He queried what Aisha Buhari will tell women whose husbands and children suffered from violent attacks by herdsmen or those women whose husbands lost their jobs in the last three years.
He said rather than wasting public funds campaigning for the president, First Lady should assist Buhari to leave governance.
In another report, the presidency has said that President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC) and its presidential candidate in the forthcoming general elections, will campaign for the party and all its candidates.
A presidential spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, made this known in a statement while reacting to media enquiries over the hosting of Gov. Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun by President Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Sunday.
