Nigeria in the need for divine salvation, FG running on lies – Fayose
Ekiti
State Governor and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’
Forum, Mr Ayodele Fayose has called on Nigerians to rise in unison to pray to
God to save Nigeria from imminent collapse, lamenting that “Nigeria is in dire
need of divine salvation at this critical time.”
The
governor said it was time for men of good conscience to come together,
irrespective of the political affiliations to salvage the country from this
present state of uncertainty, which was occasioned by the cluelessness and
insincerity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led federal government,
saying; “It is painful that those who used falsehood to take over power are
still ruling the country with lies.” In a release issued on Wednesday by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,
Governor Fayose asked; “For how long is Nigeria going to be governed based on
lies, vendetta and political intolerance? For how long is this so-called fight
against corruption going to be about members of the opposition alone?” “The
economy is almost gone, with nothing being done to revive it. Rights of
Nigerians to choose who govern them in a free, fair and credible election no
longer exist. Even the rights of Nigerians to life is under threat under this
government as people are now being killed helplessly. “Like I said before,
Nigeria is now more divided than ever before. The number of Nigerians killed
extra-judicially and by Boko Haram insurgents and herdsmen in the last 22
months far outnumbered those who lost their lives between 2011 and 2015. “Our
country has now become a nation where you can only be corrupt if you are not in
the good books of the Presidency. “Four people can now be charged to court for
alleged corruption this month, and by next month, three of them will become
prosecution witnesses after charges against them had been withdrawn. Not only
that; those previously accused of corruption and charged to court are even
being appointed into sensitive positions. “Even professional prosecutors hired
by the federal government are being frustrated out of their jobs just because
they refused to dance to the nepotistic tune of the cabal in the presidency.
“Most importantly, apart from economic uncertainty, the country is also faced
with political uncertainty, such that there is palpable anxiety as to what to
expect next. “Therefore, Nigeria needs divine help more than ever before and
lovers of the country must keep praying to God to in His infinite mercies,
intervene in the affairs of Nigeria.”
