According to Mr.
Fayose, the President needs prayers to surmount his health challenges and
called on him to resign from office to attend to his health.
The Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has claimed
that President Muhammadu Buhari has been on life support since June 6 at a
hospital in West End, London. The governor made the claim in a personally
signed statement issued on Wednesday.
According to Mr. Fayose, the President needs prayers to
surmount his health challenges and called on him to resign from office to
attend to his health. He also called on the Presidency to be honest about
President Buhari's health status, saying it has been handled with a lot of
opacity.
He noted that Wednesday makes it 53 days since President;
Muhammadu Buhari left Nigeria for treatment abroad and there has been no
official information as to his whereabouts and his state of health.
Mr. Fayose said he does not wish the President dead, the
reason he claimed to have maintained a "dignified silence" since the
President embarked on his second medical trip abroad this year.
He described the recorded audio message released by the
Presidency as a damage control strategy, one which moved him to set the records
straight with his statement.
"No doubt, the audio message was only a damage control
strategy aimed at further deceiving Nigerians. The audio message does not
represent the truth as our President does not only have voice impairment, he
has been on life support since 6 June at a West-End, London, Hospital,"
Mr. Fayose said.
He similarly claimed that the President's wife, Aisha, was
not allowed to see her husband during her last visit to the United Kingdom, but
she is unwilling to admit what happened.
"Only three Nigerians, who are of the President’s
cabal, are allowed access to the President. I will keep their identities for
now. Anyone with a contrary claim should produce the President to Nigerians
within the next 48 hours. It is obvious that Nigeria is drifting like the last
days of the Yar’Adua government," the governor said.
He stated that he warned Nigerians against electing
President Buhari on the account of his age, health and mental capacity. He also
claimed that when the Presidency released pictures to the press claiming that
President Buhari had an interview with Kemi Fadojutimi of “All Eyes on Africa”
TV Show in London, on 23 February 2015, he proved that the interview was conducted
in Suite 881 at Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.
"Hate me or like me, again, I am putting Nigerians on
notice on the present state of health of our President. Let me state that I am
not unaware of the various attempts on my life. I am undaunted, as I remain
committed to truth and fearlessness because a man's life does not consist in
the abundance of his possessions. It is time that the President takes the
interests of Nigerians above his own and resign from office so that our country
can move forward," Mr. Fayose stated.
