Return of 'Looted' Funds: Buhari is a liar, he should stay at home to govern - Fayose

Read the press statement below...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has
carpeted President Muhammadu Buhari’s claim that
many of those who looted the public treasuries in the
government of former President Goodluck Jonathan
had started returning the stolen funds to the
government, saying the President should rather stay
at home to govern the country instead of junketing
around the globe and acting like a saint before the
international community.
The governor challenged the President to tell Nigerians how
much was returned and the looters who returned the stolen
funds, adding that “Since the purported looted funds belong
to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it ought to have been paid
into the Federation Account and shared by the Federal, State
and Local Government.”
Special Assistant to the Governor on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said in a
statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday that Governor
Fayose advised President Buhari to tackle the collapsed
economy of the country headlong instead of going from one
country to another, casting aspersion on Nigerians with his
sing-song of fighting corruption.
He said the President’s attitude was yet to change from that
of 1984 when he was military Head of State, adding that;
“Buhari’s statement in Tehran, Iran that it was easier for him
as a military Head of State in 1984 to arrest corrupt
individuals and put them in protective custody was a pointer
to the fact that he has not changed from the dictator that he
was then.
“The truth is that Buhari did not fight corruption in 1984.
Rather, he persecuted great Nigerians, especially the likes
Chief Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ambrose Ali, Chief Bisi
Onabanjo, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Chief Bola Ige, who
served the people meritoriously. “Is Buhari justifying the
imprisonment of Dr Alex Ekwueme, who was only the Vice
President or All Progressives Congress (APC) leader like
Chief Bisi Akande, who only served as a Deputy Governor?”
While urging the President to stop acting like the sole-
administrator of Nigeria and the only honest man among
Nigerians, Governor Fayose said “Nigerians are desirous of
concrete developments, not rhetoric about fight against
corruption that is only being used to persecute perceived
political enemies of the President both in the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and within the APC.
“As at today, Nigerians are faced with serious hardship
occasioned by prolonged fuel scarcity that the Federal
Government does not have any solution to. Multi-national
companies are laying-off thousands of workers while
contractors working for the Federal Government have left
their sites.
Yet, what we get to hear from the President is noise in
foreign lands about non-existing fight against corruption.
“Honestly, this President should get to work and stop lying
to Nigerians and the international community.”
