Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, yesterday, expressed worry over the inability of President Muhammadu Buhari to take actions that would stop the series of killings across the country.
The governor maintained that the incessant killings by Boko Haram and herdsmen are evidence that the President has completely lost the battle against insurgency.
Reacting to the latest killings by herdsmen in Benue State, Fayose said: “It is beyond dispute that the Buhari administration has lost the battle against insurgency and the herdsmen. Buhari is helpless as he is reduced to offering condolences on a daily basis.
“Nigerians are dying on a daily basis. Innocent souls are being wasted by herdsmen and the Buhari administration has lost all moral right to continue in office. Why is he still sitting in the office? Doing what, if I may ask?”
Fayose, in the statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, said this was a government that lambasted the PDP administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan for cluelessness and incompetence on security matters “but the same Jonathan administration era is now looking like the golden age of security of lives and properties in Nigeria.”
He said: “At no period since 1999 has life been this cheap. Life has become nasty, brutish, and short under the Buhari administration.
“The situation is getting so bad that we do not know whether the Constitution of the country has been unofficially suspended.
“Nigerians have been unlucky with Buhari as president. He is too old, too analogue and is not ready to admit and yield to a competent leader. This country has never had it this bad. Gradually, Buhari is becoming a maximum ruler.”
