FAYOSE: Lai speaks from both sides of his mouth; he’s “Liar-General” of the federation
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said that the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, now assumes the position of the “Liar-General” of the federation.
This was as he challenged him to name those “treasury looters” that he claimed were sponsoring the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
“It is high time Nigerians begin to hold the Information Minister accountable for his frivolous claims” adding that the Information Minister was fast assuming the position of the “Liar-General” of the federation, having lied to gain power and still lying to sustain it.
“More than 20 months after he claimed that 55 Nigerians stole over N1.34 trillion from the country’s treasury from 2006 to 2013, Lai Mohammed is yet to tell Nigerians who the 55 people are,” Fayose added.

He stated this in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka. He further described Mohammed as “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.”
Fayose was reacting to Mohammed’s claims that disgruntled politicians and looters were the ones funding Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB members.

Fayose can never sponsor us, he doesn’t have our money. We are richer than more than 70% of Nigerian politicians. None of them can sponsor IPOB.

Fayose sounds like someone who quilty conscience is worrying. He shouldn’t be bothered if he’s not sponsoring Biafrans. Let Lai say whoever he wants, he shouldn’t worry himself

BY now, everyone should know Lia Mohammed for always displaying stupidity, he should not be taken seriously for anything. Well, Fayose too is nevertheless serious, and he likes attention.

“As is name, so is he ”
“Lai ” and he lies which means he is a real son of the land but you Mr Fayose, your name is Ayodele meaning, “joy in the house ” but you brought sorrow to houses in ekiti, your days are numbered
