Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has hit a new high in his obsession with General Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, lamenting that his party his photoshopping his pictures to make him look younger.
In a press statement issued in Ado-Ekiti by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor noted with dismay the contemptuous manner in which the APC and Buhari hold Nigeria and its people.
The governor, who vowed that Nigeria will never be ruled by deceit, said: “In saner climes, you can’t lie and be discovered to have lied repeatedly as done by the APC and still want to stand for elections.”
He noted that: “The new deceit from the APC is to use a photoshopped picture of Buhari for posters in Lagos, making him look like a 50 year old man, whereas he is as old as my mother and cannot survive the rigours of office even as a governor not to talk of President of Nigeria.”
He stated that APC claimed that Buhari made a surprise visit to Chibok and went further to lie that the people and parents of Chibok girls were filled with hope and joy upon sighting Buhari and his entourage, and escorted him into Chibok with singing and dancing.
“The APC cabal claimed that Buhari travelled to the United Kingdom on a working visit and used fake pictures to back up their lies that Buhari met with ex-British Prime minister, Tony Blair and had a television interview in London.”
“Even when Buhari’s wife admitted that her husband was in the UK to rest, the APC cabal went on with their lies, using pictures taken in Transcorp Hilton, Abuja as proof of Buhari’s activities in London.
