I warned Nigerians in 2015 not to elect Buhari, says Fayose

Former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose

Former governor of Ekiti, Peter Ayodele Fayose, has said that Nigerians are mourning over “lack of democracy” under President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement which Lere Olayinka, his spokesman, issued on his behalf on Friday, the ex-governor alleged that Nigeria has nothing to celebrate in terms of democratic governance and practices.


Fayose accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of destroying the tenets of democracy, saying the “legacy of free, fair and transparent elections bequeathed to Nigeria by the PDP government has been destroyed, with elections in the country now being held at gun point.”

“Democracy will return to Nigeria again after President Buhari’s tenure,” the statement read.

“Today, there is no democracy to celebrate and I have not stopped wondering how we got here in Nigeria. I am sure Nigerians will still recall that I warned them in 2015.




“The people mourn when the wicked are in authority while they rejoice when the righteous are in leadership. Today, Nigerians are mourning.

“Nevertheless, we must all keep hope alive because after darkness, there will definitely be light.”
