Fayose again, says Buhari is an aberration
Fazed by the continued slide of the Nigerian economy and massive hunger in the land, the unrelenting critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, Ayodele Fayose, has hit the president again, calling him an aberration.
Fayose has been a major critic of the administration of President Buhari, and the most vocal, picking holes in every statement and actions of the president.
The governor has also been a major focus of investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over allegations that he received funds running into billions of naira from the detained former National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki, to fund his election in 2014.
His bank accounts have been frozen and some properties sealed.

The governor, in a statement on Saturday by his Chief Press Secretary, Idown Adelusi, said President Buhari is bereft of ideas to revive the country’s economy, predicting that the All Progressives Congress, APC, would soon disintegrate because it was founded on deceit.
He said: “Very soon, the APC will explode and disintegrate because it was founded on deceit. If you are in the Peoples Democratic Party, you are a pen robber, but if you joined the APC, you become a saint automatically.
“Unfortunately, Buhari cannot find a solution to hunger, unemployment, depressed economy and insecurity in the country because he is bereft of ideas. Nigerians should brace to change the change because the right president is yet to come. What we have now is an aberration.”

It’s quite unfortunate, I must say.

Fayose is a confused somebody. He praises you today and condemns you tomorrow. Am sure one day both fayose and fani Kayode his friend might later join the APC.

Fayose is one serious headache the Federal government have to deal with or cope with. We citizens just have to ignore whatever he says

From my understanding of aberration, it means a character that deviates from normal to abnormal, Fayose is very right by calling Buhari aberration. We all know the state of Nigeria before Buhari assumes power and since he became the first citizen of this country, Nigeria has turned upside down, gone from good to bad and gradually our economy is approaching extremely bad. Pls tell me, Is Buhari not an aberration?

I can perceive pain and anger in your response, why? Is Buhari your daddy? If he is, you need to talk to him, I hope he’d listen to you.

APC is a platform of lies, plenty lies, but PDP is worse. This country cannot be good with these political parties, nothing good is coming from them.

You don’t say both parties but one party is better than the other party.. PDP is better than APC because what we are passing true now is coming from the APC. During PDP governance the hardship is not like this so PDP is better than APC
