Nigerians are suffering because of Buhari’s nepotism, Fayose says
After a brief lull, Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has again hit at President Muhammadu Buhari, saying he sorrounded himself with family members because he is being tormented by the fear of the unknown.
The governor further said Nigerians are suffering under the All Progressives Congress, APC, because of the President’s nepotism.
Fayose, in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, on Sunday, insisted that Nigeria was experiencing the worst form of nepotism in the history of government in the country.

“The country is in the hands of wrong managers who do not know what to do and out of nepotism, not ready to be assisted by those who know.
“Presently, Nigerians are suffering, hungry and angry because the APC Federal Government has run the country aground.
“Nigeria has gone beyond recession, the economy has collapsed completely and painfully, those who should revive the economy do not have any clue as to what to do.
“Nepotism is the reason our President discarded competent people in his party that should be running the government with him and opted for his relatives, friends, in-laws and very close associates.
“The only qualification to hold key positions in the Presidency is to know a certain nephew of the President or be a member of his family, that’s is nepotism and what nepotism breeds is incompetence”, Fayose said.
