Buhari responsible for recession – Fayose

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose said yesterday that President Mohammadu Buhari is responsible for the country’s economic recession.
Fayose added that president Buhari is the major problem of the country that Nigerians must solve.
“Our president, through his actions and inactions is destroying everything that makes Nigeria a country and well-meaning Nigerians must stand-up to be counted in the crusade to save the country from going under.”
The governor alleged that president Buhari went to foreign countries to demarket Nigeria by calling all Nigerians thieves and dishonest people.
“Which foreign investor will put money in a country of dishonest people? Who made investors to leave Nigeria if not president Buhari?
“Who created (an) atmosphere of economic and political instability in the country by his acts of nepotism and vindictiveness?”
The governor lamented that “president Buhari has not only taken Nigeria to economic recession,

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Osaro Onaiwu, yesterday said his party remains the best option in the governorship race.
Onaiwu, who spoke in an interview with The Guardian, said the impression that the contest is between the two major parties is a creation of the media.
He explained that unlike the other parties, “The APGA doesn’t believe in renting a crowd. Throughout the campaigns, our party wasn’t paying N10million for airtime to cover its rallies. That explained why some people thought we were not working hard enough. But the people have started to see that the party is a force to reckon with.
“Everywhere that the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been to, I had been there twice. Our campaigns are about the grassroots, touching the lives of the people and identifying with their problems,” he said.
He said despite his renewed calls that the polls be further shifted to enable students to write their examination on the new date, he is hopeful that over 48 per cent of the people would vote for him.

Two factions of the Peoples Democratic Party have submitted the names of two different people as their candidates for the Ondo State governorship election.
The two camps are that of the National Caretaker Committee headed by Senator Ahmed Makarfi while the other is a faction led by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.
It was gathered that while Makarfi’s camp submitted the name of Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN), Sheriff’s faction gave the name of Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim as its own candidate to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The election is scheduled to hold on November 26.
Investigations in Abuja on Thursday showed that the Sheriff’s camp submitted the name “a few hours ago.”

The National and State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Umuahia, Abia State yesterday upheld the election of Mao Ohuabunwa of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the duly elected senator for Abia.
His Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) rival, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, had challenged Ohuabunwa’s victory in the March 5, 2016 re-run election.
