Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari has said his principal could have masterminded the impeachment of the former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose while the latter was in office.
Adesina stated this in a tribute to Buhari on the President’s 80th birthday.
Fayose while he was Ekiti governor was prominent Buhari’s antagonist. Ahead of the 2015 election while Buhari was All Progressives Congress presidential candidate he (Fayose) predicted his (Buhari’s) death in office in the event he (Buhari) emerged.
The incumbent let everything slide upon emergence, a position Adesina said, was out of his magnanimity.
The tribute in part: “How about Ayo Fayose, the Irunmole that eats Jollof rice. The former Ekiti State Governor had taken a stand against Buhari since 2014, during the campaigns. There was that infamous advertisement he placed in newspapers, displaying a coffin, and insinuating that if Buhari was elected, he would not last the distance.
“Fayose’s party was beaten black and blue, and entered President Buhari. What would an average, vengeful person have done, if he were in the mould of the man with the teacup and saucer?
“When Buhari came, the Ekiti House of Assembly was largely populated by APC members, whom Fayose had inherited. What to do? Just give a directive: remove that Governor within a week, and he directs the Inspector General of Police to lock down the Assembly chamber. But not Buhari. Why? Because he has no malicious bone in his body.”
