Fayose’s request was contained in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.
The governor also lashed out at Alhaji Lai Mohammed, saying the Culture and Information Minister was a pathological liar.
‘It is high time Nigerians begin to hold the Information Minister accountable for his frivolous claims.
“An embodiment of contradictions, who speaks from several sides of his mouth, turning himself to a vegetable while struggling to defend a government that has done more evil than good to Nigeria and its people.”
Continued: “On June 10, 2013, Lai Mohammed spoke against the proscription of Boko Haram, saying that it stifled the press and tampered with the fundamental human rights of Nigerians. He also spoke in support of true federalism and restructuring of Nigeria. But today, in defense of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, everything Lai Mohammed supported then, he is now against and what he was against then, he now supports.”
Fayose went on to call on the United Nations and the International Criminal Court, ICC, to investigate alleged heinous crime perpetrated against the people of South-east allegedly by the military.
Meanwhile, the federal government said it knew the countries supporting Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Alh. Lai Muhammed stated this on Tuesday in an interview he granted Nigerian Television Authority’s programme, Good Morning Nigeria.
He said, “We are taking steps to block them and we are also taking a lot of diplomatic actions in respect of the countries that are supporting them.”
