Fayose hails US govt, UK Telegraph reports on Buhari's witch-hunt of opposition, calls for investigation

Read the press statement from Ekiti state governor below...

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has hailed the international community, especially the United States of America and the United Kingdom for joining lovers of democracy in Nigeria to speak out against the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Buhari's use of State security apparatus to oppress opposition.

He called on the British Government to investigate the allegation of the use of British foreign aid given to Nigeria to help combat Boko Haram terrorists to fund a witch-hunt against opposition politicians with a view to preventing continuous use of fund belonging to the country wrongly. Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Governor Fayose said the international community must focus attention on Nigeria under President Buhari, saying; "rights of Nigerians are now being trampled upon with impunity."

In its report, the United States Department of States, accused the Nigerian police, DSS and the military of gross abuse of power which include citizens brutality, arbitrary detention,bribery among other scandals Also, the United Kingdom based Telegraph newspaper published this week that hundreds of millions of pounds of British foreign aid given to Nigeria to help combat Boko Haram terrorists was instead being used to fund a witch-hunt against opposition politicians.

Governor Fayose, who is presently in Guangzhou, China to attend the 119th China Import and Export Fair otherwise known as the Canton Fair between April 14 and 19, said the United Kingdom Telegraph newspaper was right in its report that the Buhari’s government was using British aid money to target his political opponents, particularly through anti corruption agencies ans the Department of State Services (DSS).

He said only the international community could help prevail on President Buhari to respect the rule of law and stop ruling Nigeria like a military dictator. The governor described the United States Department of States report as another vindication of his position on the Buhari-led government's abuse of the rights of Nigerians, saying; "everything I predicted about Buhari is coming to pass and the international community must assist the country to sustain democracy.

Saraki Wants to Rubbish Amaechi with Lagos/Calabar Rail for Not Begging Buhari to Stop His Trial

According to Vanguard, it was gathered from insider sources that besides geopolitical interests, the removal of the Lagos to Calabar rail project from 2016 Budget was done partly to spite the minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, who was the chairman of Governors Forum.

Why go after Amaechi? The believev in Bukola Saraki's camp is that Amaechi distanced himself from the embattled senate president who's his former colleague and others like Senator Danjuma Goje. 

Saraki thought Amaechi, due to his closeness with President Buhari and APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu, would help him beg both men to stylishly stop his corruption trial at the CCT.

“Amaechi was told by associates in the Senate that Goje was not happy with him [because] he had teamed up with the Buhari people against his former colleagues in the Governors’ Forum,” a Presidency official conversant with the issue said. 

The source further revealed that on account of the information, Amaechi had to visit Goje to solicit his help on the passage of the budget proposals of the Ministry of Transportation. 

A presidency official stated that the Calabar-Lagos railway project alongside the Lagos – Kano rail project was included in the draft budget of the Ministry submitted to the Budget Office.

The official challenged the House of Representatives and the Senate to produce the report of their respective submissions to the NASS if they insist that the project was not included in the budget.

GEJ's Ex-Aide, Reno Omokri, Wants Buhari To Go After Fulani Herdsmen Before Pipeline Vandals

In the government of Goodluck Jonathan where Reno Omokri served and defended, money was given to well known pipeline vandals in the guise of ex-militants. Also, no action was taken against Herdsmen. Hence, I wonder what example Reno Omokri wil use to buttress his advise to Mr President.

From security reports, Fulani men don't attack unless you steal or kill their cow, their source of livelihood. But the pipeline vandals are sabotaging the economy of the country. I think they are different!
