The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign organisation wants Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, to be held responsible if any danger befalls Muhammadu Buhari, who is currently in the United Kingdom.
After Buhari travelled out of the country on Thursday, Fayose has alleged on two occasions that the APC presidential candidate is abroad to seek medical attention.
“I am happy that the APC people that are packaging Buhari finally harkened 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,” he said in a statement on Thursday.
However, Garba Shehu, director of APC media and publicity, said the party had it on good authority that some people who Fayose hired in London had been trailing the movement of Buhari during his working visit in the UK.
“Let it be on record that knowing Governor Fayose’s antecedents, we are not leaving anything to chances,” Shehu said in a statement.
“The governor, who has published death-wish advertorials on Buhari, will stop at nothing.
“If anything should happen to General Muhammadu Buhari while in London or anywhere, the authorities over there in the UK and at home should know who to hold responsible.”
Shehu confirmed that on Thursday, Buhari would honour his speaking engagement at the Royal Institute Of International Affairs, Chatham House in London.
Shehu also disclosed that on Saturday, Buhari left the London residence of the Awujale of Ijebuland, Sikiru Kayode Adetona at about 1.30 pm UK time and returned to his rented flat in the city.
