Sani: Fayose suffering from political depression
Shehu Sani, the representative of Kaduna central senatorial district at the senate, has condemned Monday’s criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari by Ayo Fayose, governor of Ekiti state.
Fayose had released a statement on Monday describing the president’s actions since his inauguration as “tainted in ethnic and tribal colouration, which is inimical to the unity of Nigeria”.
He also classed Buhari as “president of the north”, noting that 24 of his 31 appointments so far have gone to northerners.
“Under Buhari, are people from southern Nigeria only meant to be hounded and harassed by anti-corruption agencies and the Department of State Security (DSS) while those from the North are meant to enjoy federal government juicy appointments?” he said.
But responding on Tuesday, Sani said that although everyone has a right to freedom of expression, Fayose’s are all “noise and nuisance”, adding that the governor “belongs to the cesspit”.
“I recognise the fundamental rights of Ekiti state governor to freedom of expression. I unreservedly condemn his divisive, inciting, provocative and mischievous tantrums and invective against President Muhammadu Buhari,” Sani said.
“The Ekiti governor is a relic of the old order; he represents the old Nigeria of waste, of hollow ritual of noise and nuisance. Fayose is a man suffering from political depression in the aftermath of the defeat of his patriarch Goodluck Jonathan. He is a hallucinating man of the ancient, yet to come to terms with the realities of a new dawn and new Nigeria.
“The Ekiti governor is a man on the loose, ready to use stones, sticks and any object to inflict harm and to be noticed. Fayose failed to stop the election of President Muhammadu Buhari by the use of false, misleading and subversive propaganda laced with lies and deceit and now resorts to firing arrows of hate, smear and distortions.”
He described Fayose as “a glorified tout, deficient in morals, character and courteousness”, saying his “imprudent utterances are nothing but an attempt to incite Nigerians from the south against those from the north”.
“The Ekiti governor’s utterances are unbecoming of a state governor who should symbolise, exemplify and personify national unity and peace,” he continued.
“Fayose’s utterances are farts from a rotten road side beans meal. The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria guarantees all Nigerians the right to freely express their opinion and criticize the operations of Government. The Ekiti governor is simply on a toxic smear campaign against PMB.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is not a ‘northern president’: He is a Nigerian president out to correct the wrong of the erstwhile sectional president whom the Fayoses of Nigeria supported and collaborated with.
“Fayose is a weeping and whipping boy of the dead PDP. I call on the APC Governors to appropriately respond to their peer, Fayose and return him to the cesspit pit, where he rightly belongs.”
It is a huge mistake to brand and dismiss Fayose’s specific comments on the actions or inactions of PMB and the ruling party. What will be more helpful is addressing the specifics of the points raised by Fayose.
You are have said all. Sani is the weeping and whipping boy of gmb.
Birds of the same feather flock together. One touts response to another touts allegations. And worse of all, they both belong to the elite political class…
Your comment… people responding to sani.what morality do you see in Fayose who made an illiterate man the chairman of a local government in his state.A governor is not expected to behave and talk in such unruly manner.
24 OUT OF 31 APpointments to the north, only an imbecile wnt suspect foul play, and sani had to insult FAYOSE without explaining the 24 out of 31 appointments issue.
How was it during Jonathan? Please verify. Did you hear the North complained? What percentage of appointment have been made that we are already calling names? The only reason some southerners are complaining is that they see such positions as juicy and so they should be part of it.
Sani said the right things and I commended him for that, ask all those that are criticizing PMB how many vote did he get from the south?
there is nothing wrong with Mr president appointment
