President Muhammadu Buhari
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has revealed the reason why
President Muhammadu Buhari sacked the Executive Secretary of the
Financial Regulatory Council of Nigeria, Jim Obazee who implemented the
controversial Corporate Governance Code 2016 that forced Pastor Enoch
Adeboye to resign his position.
Fayose said the act was a cover-up by the President to avoid the
negative public reactions that would have followed the implementation of
the controversial law.
This was contained in a release issued in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday and
signed by the Governor’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka.
Governor Fayose said: “When they realised the implication of
their action on President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 ambition, especially a
personality like Pastor Adeboye that’s involved, they quickly sacked an
innocent man who must have acted on instruction.
“Obviously, their attention is more on 2019, not on justice and
any love for the sustenance of Christianity in Nigeria. Mind you, they
have only suspended the implementation of the regulation, they did not
abrogate it. It is obvious that they have an agenda. And if you look at
the president’s pattern of life, he is a sectional leader, whose
appointments reflect sectionalism and nepotism.”
Fayose said it was funny that a president that is over 70 years
will be the one to implement a regulation limiting the age of General
Overseer of Churches to 70 years, asking: “If men of God like Pastor
Adeboye, Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, Bishop David Oyedepo, Bishop Mike Okonkwo
and others cannot be GO of their church beyond 70 years of age, how do
we now justify a man like President Buhari who is over 74 and still
willing to be president beyond 2019 that he will be 77?”
Governor Fayose, who described those defending President Buhari by
claiming that the law was made when Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was president
as hypocrites, asked: “Even if the law was made before President
Buhari assumed office, who is to blame for its implementation? Could
President Buhari have implemented a law he does not believe in and could
the sacked FRC boss that they have now used as the sacrificial lamb
have implemented the law without the consent of the Presidency?”
He questioned the speed at which the President reacted by sacking
the FRC boss, asking: “Why was there no such swiftness in his action on
Southern Kaduna killings where a race was almost wiped out, with people
killed like goats? Why didn’t the President react swiftly to the Senate
indictment of the EFCC Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu?
“Obviously, it was an afterthought, which was aimed at dousing
the negative outcry that greeted the action by using the sacked FRC boss
as the fall-guy.
“This has further made it very clear and evident that Buhari is
not a leader, he is ruler. He is a religious apologist that believes
that he must silence anybody that does not believe in his line of
thought either politically or religious wise.
“Sadly, all those things that we have forgotten and never
thought will happen again in this country are now happening. The country
is now badly divided more than ever before.
“Nigerians have been able to read through President Buhari in
this short time to realise that all he is doing now is to destroy this
country like he did in 1984, but God will not allow him.”
