Former Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, has lambasted the Minister for Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, for saying security in Nigeria is far better than it was before President Buhari assumed office in 2015.
Despite the security challenge in the county, Lai Mohammed had said at a press briefing in Abuja on Monday that security under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is better than the previous administration.
He said, "I can say without hesitation that, though Nigeria is facing security challenges, the situation is far better than what we met in 2015."
He explained how daily bombings by Boko Haram members were being witnessed in about 12 states, including Abuja before the inception of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Disappointed by Mohammed's comment, Fayose in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle describe him as minister of "misinformation". Adding that "He is not only a Lying Mohammed, he is Evil Mohammed."
He wrote; "As Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed has lost his moral obligation to Nigeria and its people. He is no doubt a Minister of Misinformation. He is not only a Lying Mohammed, he is Evil Mohammed.
"At 69 years, it is a shame that he carries evil in his brain and vomit evil words through his septic-tank-like-mouth. It is a regret that at 69, that Evil Mohammed can open his mouth to defend insecurity in the country, comparing the situation now with what was obtainable in 2015.
“Nigerians are not interested in comparing what happened before 2015 with what is happening now. Rather, they are interested in a secured country where they can carry out their daily activities without fear of being killed or kidnapped.
“Unfortunately, this present APC govt has failed to secure Nigerians, with Aso Rock Villa fast becoming the only secured place in the country.”
