    Nigerians deserve truth about Buhari’s sudden vacation – Fayose




ON February 7, 2016 



Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, on Sunday, said that the
statement issued by the Presidency on President Muhammadu
Buhari’s sudden vacation was vague, saying, “Nigerians deserve to
know the truth about their President because the President is an
open book that every Nigerians should be free to read.”


The governor, who said he was aware of the high-wire plot to use
the Supreme Court to upturn his electoral victory, insisted that
nothing will stop him from speaking the truth concerning issues in
the country.


He said it was suspicious that a president, who told Nigerians that
he was embarking on official visit to France and Britain, last
Tuesday, would suddenly commence a five-day vacation while still
in the United Kingdom.
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor, who prayed for safe
return of the President, said “Nigerians deserve to know where
exactly their president is spending his vacation.”
He however commended the President for handing over to the
Vice President as stipulated by the Constitution of the country.
He said; “We were told last Tuesday, that Mr President was
travelling to France and from there to London to attend the Syria
Donor Conference, and that he would return to Nigeria this
weekend.

“All of a sudden, we were told that the President was embarking
on a five-day vacation. Where and why? We were not told.
“Curiously, it was at this same period, last year that President
Buhari, who was at that time the All Progressives Congress
(APC) presidential candidate, disappeared from public, with lies
told about him granting interviews in London.
“It is therefore important that in future, the presidency should be
more explicit in communicating with Nigerians on issues regarding
the President because a nation’s president is an open book that
can be read by anyone.”
