Released Chibok Girls Used To Divert Attention From Buhari’s Health – Gov. Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has insisted that the release of 82 Chibok girls by Boko Haram is aimed at diverting attention from President Muhammadu Buhari’s health.

In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose said Buhari resorted to “flying dubious kites and selling cheap dummies” to distract the people.

The Governor also insisted that the Chibok girls were not abducted.

“What is not missing cannot be found… discerning Nigerians understand that the stories do not add up.

“Right now, a matter of urgent national importance arresting the attention of all and sundry is that of the president’s health.

“While I continue to pray, in conjunction with other Nigerians, for the president’s quick recovery, I condemn without equivocation this shameless playing on the intelligence and psyche of Nigerians taking undue advantage of the vexed issue of the so-called Chibok girls.

“It has become the style of this government to distract attention but the truth will be told some day.

“The questions are: Which Chibok girls are they talking about? Chibok girls who purportedly were writing Physics WAEC examinations but cannot speak simple English? Chibok girls who were shielded from the media? Till today the media have not been allowed access to the so-called Chibok girls.

“When is the next batch of Chibok girls coming? When is the next make-believe?

“When there is the need for another cover-up, distraction and diversion of the people’s attention and focus, they will fly their usual kite and sell the self-same jaded dummy,” he said.
Fayose said it was sad that Nigerians refused to heed his warning on not electing Buhari.

“It is very unfortunate that we brought ourselves to this sorry pass. I sounded warnings which, unfortunately, were not heeded.

“The intolerance of this government and the way they are trampling people’s rights, and abridging their freedoms and liberties bring echoes of the dictatorship and autocracy of Gen. Buhari’s first coming in 1985.

“But, then, there will be a new dawn for Nigeria very soon. Keep hope alive because there will be a new dawn in our country sooner than later. The hunger and suffering in the land are at an unprecedented level right now while the cluelessness and incompetence of this government beggars believe”, he added.
Buhari has left the country again after 59 days, for further medical check-ups in UK.

We Will Investigate Senator Isiaka Adeleke’s Death, Aregbesola Replies Davido’s Father

Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola has said that its decision to investigate the cause of the death of Senator Isiaka Adeleke, who represented Osun west in the senate, “was for the good of the society”.

Aregbesola made this known through a statement by Semiu Okanlawon, director, bureau of communication and strategy in his office while reacting to the rejection of the coroner inquest.

Deji Adeleke, younger brother to the late senator had on Sunday, described the inquest as politicising the family’s loss.

Okanlawon however said that the step taken by the government “is the most responsible and the most acceptable standard in any civilised society”.

“The attention of the government of the state of Osun has been drawn to a press conference purportedly held by the family of first civilian governor of our state, Senator Isiaka Adeleke where it rejected the Coroners Inquest instituted by the government into the unfortunate and sudden death of our beloved former governor. This is rather unfortunate,” it read.

“The decision to institute an inquest into this sudden death was not to please or satisfy anyone at all. It was set up for the good of the society. And to the extent that this was set up not to please anyone but for the good of our society.

“We are all bereaved and mourning with the unfortunate death of one of our illustrious sons and most importantly a former Governor of our dear state.

“It would not be in the best interests and Honour of the departed soul for the government to engage the family on a matter of this nature.

“It is therefore trite to state that the Adeleke Family has right to all the choices open to them just as we are sure this is a matter that is already in the court of public opinion.”
