Ex Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has come out to urge President Muhammadu Buhari to focus on tackling security challenges in Nigeria.

He recently revealed this on his Twitter handle, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, that should be the focus for the president in these troubling times, but rather he is concentrating on receiving political defectors into the ruling APC.

He added that PMB must know that Nigerians do not fancy political meetings over the security of their lives and property and their financial well-being.

His words, “Nigerians are not interested in the President receiving political wanderers in the Villa. They are more interested in their well-being, especially security. They want to see a president who’s proactive in handling affairs of the country, rather than receiving recycled politicians.”

“Most importantly, Nigerians are not interested in how many politicians that decamp to APC, which is already a dead party.”

“The President should rather make himself available to Nigerians who can help solve our unending financial and security challenges amongst others. Above all, I wish the President knows how disappointed Nigerians are about him and his failed promises.”

Do you agree?

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government.

He unsuccessfully ran for the office of president of Nigeria in the 2003, 2007, and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected President, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.

Buhari has stated that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a “converted democrat”.

Muhammadu Buhari was born to a Fulani family on 17 December 1942, in Daura, Katsina State, to his father Hardo Adamu, a Fulani chief, and mother Zulaihat. He is the twenty-third child of his father. Buhari was raised by his mother, after his father died when he was about four years old.
