How Can Nigerians Stand With Buhari Who Is Inflicting Pains On Them – Fayose Tackles Lawan Over Comment On President’s 78th Birthday

Ayodele Fayose, a former Ekiti State governor, has slammed Ahmad Lawan, Senate President, for asking Nigerians to stand with the President, Muhammadu Buhari on his mission to steer the nation into future prosperity.

In his congratulatory message marking the 78th birthday of the President on Thursday, Senator Lawan rejoiced with him for marking the occasion in good health and good spirit.

He hailed Buhari for his “undeniable commitment to the unity, peace and even development of Nigeria”.

“From the ongoing massive infrastructure projects across the country, series of programmes targeted at lifting the most vulnerable, like the social investment scheme, to the numerous bold initiatives of his government aimed at diversifying the economy, President Buhari is leveraging on his integrity and good standing with the masses to courageously guide Nigeria through a difficult phase into future prosperity,” the Senate President wrote on Twitter.

“I urge every citizen to look at the big picture and continue to stand with the President in this patriotic mission.”

Reacting to Lawan’s comment via his verified Twitter handle on Thursday, Fayose wondered how Nigerians can stand with President Buhari who, according to him, has caused them more pain.

“Funny that the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, is asking Nigerians to keep standing with President Buhari,” he tweeted.

“How can Nigerians stand with a man who is inflicting pains on them? A man under whose leadership Nigerians are being killed and kidnapped daily and has not raised a finger?

“Nigerians can’t stand with Buhari anymore.”

In another Twitter post, the ex-Ekiti governor wrote, “While I am are not against congratulating President Buhari on his disputable 78 years, I reject such call from the Senate President that Nigerians should stand with the President. It is such an unfair call.”
