The governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of hiding the true health status of presidential candidate; General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), who travelled to the United Kingdom (UK) Thursday morning enroute United States of America (USA).
He said the ex-Head of State was actually on a secret medical trip, and that the secrecy surrounding it has shown that the party leaders were covering up his true health status for their selfish gains.
In a statement from Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said that despite the secrecy, it was a step in the right direction that the party decided to follow his advice and allow Buhari attend to his failing health.
It read in parts:
“The truth is that Buhari travelled out today to seek medicare in USA. If the APC people are saying otherwise, let them publish the picture of Buhari boarding the plane and granting interview to Aviation Correspondents at the Abuja Airport.
“While I am happy that the APC people that are packaging Buhari finally hearkened to my plea that they should allow him (Buhari) to seek medicare abroad, I must say that it was evil for the APC to have lied that Buhari travelled on a working visit.
“These APC political merchants should say the truth and save Nigeria from the possibility of another Yar’Adua experience. They should tell Nigerians that Buhari is actually sick and lack capacity to rule Nigeria and that they are only packaging him, hoping that he will become incapacitated if he becomes president so that they can take over power by proxy. Like I have maintained, the north should wait till 2019 to produce a younger, energetic and healthy president of Nigeria.”
