Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose, on Sunday identified
himself as a target of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration for what he linked
to his unrelenting criticism of the
President’s policies.

He added that the realisation made
him to be cautious of his dealings
in office.

The governor, who spoke during an
interactive session with journalists
in Lagos, noted that he had started
the construction of a flyover in
Ado/Ikere Road for N5.7bn and
invited the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission to be part of
the project from the outset.

Fayose said, “I have started the
construction of a flyover in Ado/
Ikere Road for N5.7bn.

I have also invited the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission
to be part of it, because I know I
am a target of the current
administration.

“You may not like my face or my
style. But take the message and
leave the messenger. If they have
anything against me, they would
have published it I know.

I prepare for my defence. I am
fully prepared.

“Criticising the President should
not make an enemy. We will sue
the government.

We learnt this from Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu. He is always in court either
by proxy or direct. You cannot keep
arresting my principal officers and
members of my state House of
Assembly.”

The governor also urged the
President to devalue the naira
without further delay, adding that
he blamed him for the current
economic woes in the country.

“The All Progressives Congress
deceived us. They manipulated us. I
blame the current economic woes
in Nigeria on the President.

No matter the past economic
situation of a country, a good
manager would have been able to
normalise the situation.

The way things are going in
Nigeria, the economy may shut
down soon,” he stated.
