Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has disclosed that his wife cautioned him not to abuse the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari when he passed on early in July.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Friday, the former Ekiti governor said “The people in Nigeria only praise the dead. When President Buhari died, I wanted to come out and abuse him (but) my wife called me not to say so.”
He argued that the late former president did not perform up to acceptable standards during his eight-year tenure.
“Would you say Buhari performed? I’m not among those praising the dead. Don’t honour me when I die. When I die, I’m gone. When President Buhari was in government, we all know what this country was. So, nobody should come and tell me that (President Bola) Tinubu is not doing well”, said Fayose.
Fayose said unlike Buhari, Tinubu is accessible.
“He (Tinubu) is accessible. Was the former president accessible? A lot of things are happening in those days but do you still find them in the system? He is not a perfect man but we are not where we were”, said Fayose.
