Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose lampooned the Presidency, saying it is “the employer and defender of Boko Haram terrorists and armed bandits.”
The former governor, also advised Nigerians to restrict their movement to avoid falling victims of terrorists, expressed concern that nowhere is safe in the country.
In a statement by his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka, he said that the issue of the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, had further exposed the government’s hypocrisy and complicity.
He said, “It is painful that Nigeria is being governed by people who were at one time nominated as Boko Haram negotiators while their lieutenants are those who have openly kicked against military action against Boko Haram and rejected its categorisation as a terrorist organisation.
“Those ruling Nigeria, particularly at the federal level, are acting as if the country is about the government and them, forgetting that the government is about the country and its people.
“Our roads have been taken over by terrorists while Nigerians, including traditional rulers, are now being abducted right inside their bedrooms.”
