The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has accused the leadership of the All Progressives Congress of covering up the true health status of their presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari. Fayose said the secret trip made on Thursday by the former Head of State to the United Kingdom (UK) en route United States of America (USA) for medical treatment has shown that the APC leaders, especially Senator Bola Tinubu were hiding Buhari’s true health status for their selfish gains.
He noted that the APC flag bearer travelled to the UK unannounced, fueling speculations that he was flown abroad in an air ambulance. A statement later issued by the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation stating that Buhari was on a short working visit to the UK, did little to convince the Ekiti State Governor.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka Fayose accused the opposition party of spreading falsehood.
“The truth is that Buhari travelled out on Thursday 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.”
The Governor however wished Buhari a quick recovery but said, “Like I have maintained, the north should wait till 2019 to produce a younger, energetic and healthy president of Nigeria.”
