The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, while speaking to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Monday reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s declaration to contest the 2019 election.
Governor Fayose said Nigeria does not need Buhari in 2019, and if the president was given another term, he would “kill Nigeria”.
He added that, if President Buhari was unable to ”read the handwriting on the wall” and know when to call it quits, Nigerians would show him the exit door in 2019 by voting him out of office.
Governor Fayose also stated that President Buhari has ”bungled the opportunity given him by his woeful performance.”
The Governor said: “That ambition is dead on arrival. We don’t want grandpa as president anymore.
“Nigeria does not deserve a Buhari as president in 2019.
“Buhari is old and tired. When people don’t know when to take their leave and say bye, Nigerians will show them the exit door.
“He has done more harm to this country. His ambition is a means by which Nigerians will tell him good riddance to bad rubbish when they boot him out of office. He is an easy candidate to defeat in the poll for he has failed woefully.
“He has failed in all fronts. He has failed in his so-called fight against corruption; he has failed in the economic front. He has not done well in terms of security. People are being killed in large number daily and Nigerians have no confidence in him.
“His declaration today is a slap on Nigerians in the face of what Nigerians are passing through. His government is not only clueless, but in a shambles. He should go home and rest.”
