Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has said politicians visiting President Muhammadu Buhari in London should desist from the act and allow the president to attend to his health issues.
Fayose also said he remained a committed member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP loyal to Ahmed Makarfi-led faction despite the Court of Appeal judgment declaring Alimodu Sheriff as the National Chairman.
Fayose revealed this on Saturday in a monitored programme aired simultaneously on Ekiti owned television and radio stations.
In his words: “We are not going anywhere. The matter has been appealed. In elections, three things are important: party, candidate and people. We have the people. The power of the people is greater than the machinations of the people working against us.”
TheNewsGuru.com reports that Fayose, while praying for sound health for the president, said his desire for a better Nigeria accounted for why he had been criticising the Federal Government when things were not done the right way.
He explained that he had stopped criticising the president since he travelled abroad for medical attention because anyone could fall sick and the president should be allowed to enjoy his rest.
“I don’t have any problem with the president; the only problem I have is with his handlers. They will say something today and say another tomorrow. Anybody can fall sick.
“I have not been criticising the president because he is sick. When he comes back and he is not doing the right thing, we will continue to criticise him,” he said.
Describing the visits by some All Progressives Congress, APC chieftains to the president as a make-belief and too much of eye service, the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum said it would not have been necessary if the people knew the truth from the onset.
The governor spoke further: “It is God that gives power to whoever He wills. As humans, we can fall sick. But people should allow him to rest.
“Some people are visiting him to convince people that he is well; that is a make-belief and too much of eye-service.”
“So many women are in pains today because some husbands had become terrors at home. We must consciously promote women, show love to them and assist them.”
