Fayose said conditions of Nigerians under the All Progressives Congress, APC-led government have been made worse because “the president lacks the capacity to govern nor knows what to do, but is also not ready to be assisted by those who know.”
Fayose also said the reason Buhari surrounds himself with his relations is simply because he knows he has failed Nigerians, and is afraid of what might happen next. He said Buhari's incompetency is the cause of his fears.
The governor said “Presently, Nigerians are suffering, hungry and angry because the APC Federal Government has run the country aground. Nigeria has gone beyond recession, the economy has collapsed completely and painfully. Those who should revive the economy do not have any clue as to what to do.”
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said Nigeria was experiencing the worst form of nepotism in the history of government in the country, noting that “Nepotism is the reason our President discarded competent people in his party that should be running the government with him and opted for his relatives, friends, in-laws and very close associates.”
According to him, President Buhari was obviously being tormented by fear of the unknown, which he described as the main reason people take to nepotism.
The statement reads: “As a leader, you don’t need to fear anything. But the moment a leader peeps into the future, realising that his lack of capacity could have consequential effects on him, such a leader will definitely resort to nepotism to protect himself.
“Nigerians voted for change because the APC promised them solutions to the country’s problems, but all we hear every day from the APC Federal Government are complaints upon complaints as if Nigerians elected a government of complaints.”
“Obviously, the APC government has failed Nigerians and the President has resorted to putting his immediate family members and close associates in key government positions to protect himself from the fear of the unknown that has enveloped him”, he stated.
Fayose's statement on President Buhari’s fears could be related to an incident that saw Buhari lose power to Babangida in a coup back in 1985.
