Another press statement below...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose
has said that the All Progressives Congress
(APC) must apologise for lying to Nigerians
on the health status of its presidential
candidate, Major General Mohammadu
Buhari (rtd), using pictures taken in
Transcop Hilton, Abuja and claiming that
the pictures were taken in London.
Fayose said "it was interesting that the
loquacious APC Spokesperson, Lai
Mohammed could develop a cold feet and
muscle pull in his mouth such that he
suddenly realised that he could not join
issues with Fayose."
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on
Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, Governor Fayose said; "The Chatham
House one hour event scheduled for Thursday
was paid for by the APC with the hope that
Buhari will be well enough to appear in public
briefly by Thursday.
"The Event Contact person, Chris Vandome
confirmed via phone call that the event was
'Jointly
Sponsored' by the APC and Chatham House."
The governor said; "Having lied so brazenly that
Buhari granted interview in London, using
pictures taken in Transcop Hilton, Abuja, it is
obvious that the APC is a party of deceitful
people that should
not be taken seriously by Nigerians.
"If APC ssys that today is Tuesday, Nigerians
should check calender to be sure."
He hailed Guardian newspaper for being
honourable enough to publish an apology
yesterday, on the false picture it used on
Sunday, asking; "When is APC going to be
humble enough to apologise to Nigerians?"
"Hopefully, the APC expects to bombard
Nigerians with pictures of Buhari's one hour
appearance in Chatham House on Friday, using
that to cover up the real reasons he travelled to
the United Kingdom.
"However, we expect them to publish pictures of
Buhari's departure from the Abuja Airport,
Buhari queuing at the Airport to board his flight
as they claimed, Buhari being interviewed by
journalists at the Airport, Buhari boarding his
flight and waving at those who followed him to
the
Airport ans Buhari being welcomed at the Airport
in London.
"If actually Buhari travelled out of Nigeria under
a normal condition, could he have passed
through the Abuja Airport without any of the
Aviation Journalists interviewing him?
"So, those covering up Buhari's health issue
should know that his paid appearance at
Chatham House on Thursday will not do the PR
they are expecting. Rather, it will raise further
questions which they can only answer by saying
the truth and apologising for the lies they told,"
the governor said.
