Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday visited the governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, as part of his efforts to actualise his ambition to be president. Although Atiku met with Mr. Fayose behind closed-doors, he hinted that he discussed his ambition with the governor whom he described as a leader in the party and a force to reckon with.
Speaking on the public statement written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on President Muhammad Buhari, Atiku said although it was a personal letter between two individuals, the contents of the letter confirmed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had failed Nigerians.
“The letter was a personal issue between two individuals, so I won’t like to comment on it. However, the letter confirmed that the APC government under Buhari has failed Nigerians.”
Speaking in the same vein, Mr. Fayose said he was disappointed because he did not vote for Buhari.
“I will never stop being against him. I was not too young when Buhari came first time and we knew the hell he took us through. During that time, he was putting people in jail and he was not in charge, it was ldiagbon that was in charge. The man is dark in the mind. Now the message has come from Obasanjo, who was Buhari’s greatest promoter and navigator, telling him to go home. The end has come for the APC, our suppressors and oppressors. You can only rule a country as diverse as Nigeria if you are truly a leader. I can tame herdsmen effectively. Tell everyone, if you vote APC, second and final suffering is what you are inviting.”
On his mission to Ekiti, Atiku said Mr. Fayose calls the shots and when he does so, we all take the queue.
“Since my return home to PDP this is the first state I am visiting for consultations with party leaders. This is not surprising as Fayose and I had struck a good relationship since his first tenure as governor and I was VP. He is blunt and straightforward.
