Fayose needs mental check-up for opposing Chinese loan, Oyegun says

National chairman of the APC Chief John Odigie-Oyegun says that Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, and others like him criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari for seeking a $2 billion loan from China need their heads examined.

The APC chairman explained that Fayose is ignorant of the problems Nigeria is going through and how to solve them.

It would be recalled that Fayose had last week written to the Chinese government  not to accede to Buhari’s request for the loan, asserting, that Nigerians were “totally opposed to increment of the country’s debt burden, which is already being serviced with 25 per cent of the Federal Government annual budget”.

But Oyegun who insisted that President Buhari’s foreign trips had gone a long way in helping to save the nation from what he described as PDP’s disastrous outing in 16 years, further insisted that the current administration is on the verge of restoring the nation’s lost glory outside the country.

Oyegun while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Benin, the Edo State capital, said that the forces of darkness and economic saboteurs opposed to the nation’s growth and development were bent on frustrating the efforts of the APC-led administration under Buhari in his efforts at rescuing the nation from the ongoing fuel crisis and revitalizing the ailing economy.

He stated that, But the APC national chairman said, “Most people do not recognise the very sorry state of the nation’s economy and the fact that the country’s economy was ran aground and the crashed economy which contributed in no small measure towards the crash of crude oil from N120 per barrel to a miserable N30 to N40 per barrel at the international market.

 

“I hope Fayose did not really do what we are told he did. I don’t think even he is capable as descending into these low depths. But if he did, I feel sorry for him and the people of the state. Nigerians should ask Fayose what he was doing in China. Anyway, we are not bothered; the President is not bothered.”
