Buhari is "my grandfather" I didn't abuse him!

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Tuesday described President Muhammadu Buhari as “my grandfather, “saying it is improper for him to abuse the President as widely claimed.” According to TODAY, the governor maintained that “being his grandfather” does not mean he would not criticise him when going in the wrong direction. Fayose, who was a Guest Speaker at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) World Press Freedom Day lecture held on Tuesday in Ibadan, Oyo State, said he would rather die than concealing the truth.

Speaking on the topic “Journalism and Politics: Two Sides of A Coin,” the controversial governor said there were two things that people were afraid of, that is they were afraid to die and were also afraid to be locked away. Fayose said his criticism of President Buhari is healthy for Nigeria and the people of the country to achieve economic and political development. According to him, it would be absurd for all to watch and refused to talk even when the ship of the nation is drifting away dangerously to perdition.
