Cabal in Dilemma over Buhari’s Fate ~ Fayose

The Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the “cabal” in the presidency are in a dilemma over the present health condition of President Muhammadu Buhari.

A statement issued on Monday by his media aide, Lere Olayinka,  claimed that the President had become bad business for the cabal , who are undecided on whether to bring President Muhammadu Buhari back to the country or leave him in London:  “I told Nigerians then that President Buhari was a black market packaged by the APC cabal that was only interested in seizing power by whatever means and now, I have been vindicated.”

He added: “For a president who has spent 113 days abroad taking care of his health out of the 191 days in 2017, it is time for Section 144 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to be invoked.

“President Buhari left Nigeria for London on May 7, 2017, and today is July 10, 2017, 64 clears days since Nigerians saw their president or heard anything from him. Even the president’s handlers are keeping Nigerians in the dark.

“Even though the number of days that a president can spend outside the country is not specified in the 1999 Constitution, the makers of the laws of Nigeria envisaged this kind of situation and made provisions for how to resolve it in Section 144.

“It has, therefore, become pertinent that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) must invoke Section 144 of the 1999 Constitution by passing a resolution declaring that President Buhari is incapable of discharging the functions of his office.”

“They are always quick to tell Nigerians that there is an acting president in the person of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and as such, no vacuum in government. However, we all know the limitations of the acting president.

“We know that there are so many things Prof. Osinbajo cannot do and Nigerians are the ones bearing the consequences of a bedridden president.”

Fayose, who insisted that he was not interested in the president’s death, said freeing Nigeria from the hands of those who are currently holding the country to ransom should be the major concern of all well-meaning Nigerians.
