Fayose blasts Buhari on 2016 budget
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has criticised the presidency over raging controversies between the executive and legislative arm of government on the 2016 budget.
In a statement issued by Lere Olayinka, the special assistant on public communication and new media on Tuesday, April 12, Fayose noted that the current crisis confirms his position that “President Muhammadu Buhari was clueless and incompetent.”
Fayose noted that it was obvious that the All Progressives Congress (APC) lacked the political will to govern adding that these issues would continue until another president is elected in 2019.
The statement reads in part: “I warned Nigerians of the consequences of electing an octogenarian as president and with the international embarrassment that this budget crisis has become, I have been vindicated.
“It is obvious that there is total disconnection between the President and his cabinet members as many of the ministers don’t even have access to him probably because the president spend most of his time resting as a result of his old age.”

“The reality is that the president is challenged by age, exposure and ability. He did not read the budget proposal that he presented to the National Assembly and this should be a lesson for those who clamoured for a Buhari’s presidency that no man can give what he does not have.
“The question is; can a minister present supplementary budget to the National Assembly and can the National Assembly act on budget proposal submitted by a minister?
“It is shameful that after blaming former President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for close to one year, the presidency is now blaming the National Assembly for its inability to prepare a common budget.
“Nigerians must have now come to terms that I warned them that Buhari is too old to govern a country like Nigeria,” he added.

Fayose commended the National Assembly for exposing the alleged lies and hypocrisy of the presidency, adding that it was shameful for the president and his cabinet to blame the National Assembly for their incompetence.
He urged the National Assembly not to succumb to blackmail and intimidation from the executive.
Meanwhile, classified document obtained by Sahara Reporters, shows that Governor Ayodele Fayose and his family were banned from entering the United States of America in 2009.
