Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, on Sunday, said that the statement issued by the Presidency on President Muhammadu Buhari’s sudden vacation was vague, saying, “Nigerians deserve to know the truth about their President because the President is an open book that every Nigerians should be free to read.” The governor, who said he was aware of the high-wire plot to use the Supreme Court to upturn his electoral victory, insisted that nothing will stop him from speaking the truth concerning issues in the country.
He said it was suspicious that a president, who told Nigerians that he was embarking on official visit to France and Britain, last Tuesday, would suddenly commence a five-day vacation while still in the United Kingdom.
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor, who prayed for safe return of the President, said “Nigerians deserve to know where exactly their president is spending his vacation.”
He however commended the President for handing over to the Vice President as stipulated by the Constitution of the country.
He said; “We were told last Tuesday, that Mr President was travelling to France and from there to London to attend the Syria Donor Conference, and that he would return to Nigeria this weekend.
“All of a sudden, we were told that the President was embarking on a five-day vacation. Where and why? We were not told.
“Curiously, it was at this same period, last year that President Buhari, who was at that time the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, disappeared from public, with lies told about him granting interviews in London.
“It is therefore important that in future, the presidency should be more explicit in communicating with Nigerians on issues regarding the President because a nation’s president is an open book that can be read by anyone.”

It worries me how intolerant of contrary views a lot of pple re growing in our democracy. Gov Fayose, or anyone for dat matter doesn’t ve to say what u want to hear or what’s on ur mind. He’s enjoying his democratic rights. Besides, dear Uyiosa and Waleola yes, it’s Mr Fayose’s and dat of every Nigerian’s business and concern d health status of our president. Also note dat PMB is our employee so his whereabouts concern us. It’s no crime to be sick (if dat was d case) just as it’s no slight if we re told d truth about OUR PRESIDENT. Campaigns are over, PMB is President of every Nigerian now
If fayose can accept GMB as a father is life will change for good and he will stop all this nossy idea of GMB and face is state, d worker and is office i think is none of is business to now where and how GMB is using is holiday since fayose is in office has he left dat ekiti and hand over power to is deputy when he is going to monitor is business in dubai so mr governor mind ur office and leave baba alone.
Honestly Fayose should never be taken seriously. He is nothing but a loose cannon. So what if PMB goes for medical treatment? Did he leave his seat vacant? Does he not have a vice president? The media should stop making this loquacious fella popular.it is high time Fayose is told to keep his mouth shut,he talks too much for a man.
