Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, on Sunday, reminded our President, Muhammadu Buhari that he was not elected to function as “Friday or ceremonial President.”
Fayose who reportedly said this through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, added that it was necessary for Nigerians to be properly informed about the health of their president.
He said, “that is why Nigerians are told every day that the President said this and that with the President neither speaking directly nor attending any official function.
“This is not good for the image of a country like Nigeria that is struggling to get out of economic recession,” he noted.
Outspoken Fayose who added that Nigerians don’t want to see him on Fridays only while attending Jumat service, advised that Buhari should rather be allowed to take proper care of his health while the “Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo acts constitutionally as the president.
“It is only when the President is seen and heard physically that Nigerians will believe that they are not being ruled by a part-time and ceremonial president, whose powers are being exercised on his behalf by some cabal,” he stressed.
