[Chibok Girls] ‘Buhari just wants to distract Nigerians from hunger in the land,’ Fayose says
Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has said that the government is trying to distract Nigerians with the release of 21 Chibok girls.
The girls were released by Boko Haram on Thursday, October 13, and were received in Abuja by Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.
Fayose made the comments on Thursday while commissioning classrooms in the state.
“What
they came out today to tell Nigerians that 21 abducted Chibok girls
have been released by the Boko Haram group is diversionary. Nigerians
have never had it so bad. People are very hungry," he said.
“What
they did today is just to divert attention from what they did last week
by clamping judges and justices into detention. While no one is saying
corruption should be condoned, but the due process must be followed.
“The
Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government that they labelled as
inept, did better than this. The exchange rate of the naira to the
dollar is unacceptable.
“The situation
has led to hyper-inflation where what people used to buy for N30,000
cannot be bought with N100,000. Look at the elections that have been
conducted since they came to office, all the gains recorded by the
previous government as far as democracy is concerned are being eroded.
“Food
security is number one, they should stop fooling us; our economy must
be urgently addressed because Nigerians voted for the government in
power so that they can enjoy better lives.
“There
is hunger everywhere, many husbands had turned to wives in their
families. Nigeria is hard to live in and we pray that God will change
this change for us. It is not good for a government to be catching
thieves and kidnappers everyday while its citizens are hungry. Everybody
is now a thief in Nigeria, we need prayer in Nigeria and we need divine
intervention.
“Our people are suffering
under the APC government, I am not afraid of what man can do to me. They
have taken our rights away from us but I am not afraid because if you
want to catch me you must slaughter God.
“We
have had enough of diversionary tactics, they are using the report of
Chibok girls’ release to cover up the undue arrest of our judges.
Trampling on our rights is trampling on the Constitution. We want food
on our table because propaganda does not amount to food on the table of
our citizens. Let them continue to conspire, I will continue to rule
them.
“Those waiting for me, tell them
that they will continue to wait in vain. I am going somewhere, God is
taking me to somewhere in Nigeria whether my adversaries like it or
not," he added.
The girls were picked up from the Banki area of Borno state by a military helicopter after being dropped off by the terrorists.
