Former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, on Sunday, said President Muhammadu Buhari is not conscious of happenings in the Presidency.
He said that the President should, therefore, be ignored for this.
Fayose was reacting to recent comments by Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, that Buhari would have dealt with Fayose and River State Governor, Nyesom Wike for being antagonistic to him but that the President only chose to tolerate them as a father of the nation.
But Fayose, in a statement by his spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, in Ado Ekiti, lampooned Adesina for talking about “a President punishing serving governors or even ordinary Nigerians as if they are his servants.”
The former governor said in the statement entitled, “Buhari should be ignored, he’s unconscious of happenings in his own Presidency – Fayose,” “On the comment by my brother and friend, Femi Adesina, about the President not dealing with me and Governor Wike, President Buhari, in my opinion, is an accidental president, who is not only clueless but unconscious of happenings in his own Presidency.
“A man who can’t defend or protect his immediate family is not in any way better than an effigy.
“If not, those around him won’t be talking about a President ‘punishing’ serving governors or even ordinary Nigerians as if they are his servants.
“Femi Adesina, do you realise I have been quiet for a while, having concluded that Buhari’s Presidency is deaf and dumb?
“So, don’t wake a sleeping lion so as not to be confronted with consequences you can’t contend with.”
