"Chibok Girls Recent Story,A Tactics Used To Divert Attention From Buhari's Health"-Fayose

Ayodele Fayose, governor of

Ekiti state, has described the

report of the release of 82

Chibok girls from Boko Haram

captivity as a tactic aimed at

diverting attention away from the health status of

President Muhammadu

Buhari.



In a statement issued on his

behalf by Idowu Adelusi, his

chief press secretary, the

governor said it had become

the pastime of the Buhari

presidency that each time it was under fire for "under-

performance", it resorts to

"flying dubious kites and

selling cheap dummies" to

distract the people. i Maintaining his stance that

the Chibok girls were not

abducted, Fayose said: "What

is not missing cannot be

found… discerning Nigerians

understand that the stories do not add up". "Right now, a matter of

urgent national importance

arresting the attention of all

and sundry is that of the

president's health. While I

continue to pray, in conjunction with other

Nigerians, for the president's

quick recovery, I condemn

without equivocation this

shameless playing on the

intelligence and psyche of Nigerians taking undue

advantage of the vexed issue

of the so-called Chibok girls,"

the statement read. "It has become the style of

this government to distract

attention but the truth will be

told some day. "The questions are; Which

Chibok girls are they talking

about? Chibok girls who

purportedly were writing

Physics WAEC examinations

but cannot speak simple English? Chibok girls who

were shielded from the

media? Till today the media

have not been allowed access

to the so-called Chibok girls. "When is the next batch of

Chibok girls coming? When is

the next make-believe? "When there is the need for

another cover-up, distraction

and diversion of the people's

attention and focus, they will

fly their usual kite and sell

the self-same jaded dummy." Fayose said it was

unfortunate that Nigerians

refused to heed his warning

on not electing Buhari. "It is very unfortunate that

we brought ourselves to this

sorry pass. I sounded

warnings which,

unfortunately, were not

heeded," he said. "The intolerance of this

government and the way

they are trampling people's

rights, and abridging their

freedoms and liberties bring

echoes of the dictatorship and autocracy of Gen. Buhari's

first coming in 1985. "But, then, there will be a

new dawn for Nigeria very

soon. Keep hope alive

because there will be a new

dawn in our country sooner

than later. The hunger and suffering in the land are at an

unprecedented level right

now while the cluelessness

and incompetence of this

government beggars

believe."
