Fayose Salutes Buhari At 75, Says He Should Step Down In 2019

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has acknowledged the birthday of President Muhammadu Buhari and prayed for his health.

The Nigerian President clocked 75 yesterday.

Speaking with journalists on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti, Fayose thanked God for the life of President Buhari and also prayed for his good health, noting that he deserves the good wishes of the citizens, being the leader over all.

“This is to congratulate Mr President as he clocks 75. I want to thank God for his life and pray for good health in the service of our nation and that he continues to age with grace”.

“I wish him the best. He represents us all and we owe him prayers and co-operation where necessary, just as we also need to criticise him too where necessary”, he was quoted.

However, Governor Fayose didn’t desist from what he mostly does about the President in particular and also to the ruling All Progressive’s Congress ib general.

In similar stance, he urged Buhari not to seek reelection in spite of his old age but also stated that even he decides to do, his party’s confidence to APC from the federal seat cannot be compromised.

“I am not a fan of an old man and this is not personal and peculiar to President Buhari.

“We need an agile president come 2019. We need somebody that is experienced and agile.

“He shouldn’t contest and the decision is his and his party. But that is not going to stop me and my party from taking over from him and his party come 2019”, the Governor ended.
