The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has revealed why President Muhammadu Buhari didn’t see to the impeachment of Ayodele Fayose while he was governor of Ekiti State.
Adesina, in an article, recalled how Fayose antagonised Buhari in 2014 before the latter went on to become president in 2015.
According to him, had it been Buhari had a malicious bone, he would ensure Fayose got impeached because the aces were in his hands.
The article reads: “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.”
