The Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina has come out to reveal why the president did not approve the impeachment of the former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Buhari didn’t make such a move because he doesn’t have a malicious bone in his body, else he would’ve effected Fayose’s impeachment through the Ekiti State House of Assembly, which at the time was largely dominated by members of the All Progressives Congress.

He added that Buhari could’ve easily retaliated after Fayose tackled him in the build up to the 2014 elections.

His words, “How about Ayo Fayose, the Irunmole that eats Jollof rice. The former Ekiti State Governor had taken a stand against Buhari since 2014, during the campaigns. There was that infamous advertisement he placed in newspapers, displaying a coffin, and insinuating that if Buhari was elected, he would not last the distance.”

“Fayose’s party was beaten black and blue, and entered President Buhari. What would an average, vengeful person have done, if he were in the mould of the man with the teacup and saucer?”

“When Buhari came, the Ekiti House of Assembly was largely populated by APC members, whom Fayose had inherited. What to do? Just give a directive: remove that Governor within a week, and he directs the Inspector General of Police to lock down the Assembly chamber. But not Buhari. Why? Because he has no malicious bone in his body.”
