The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has chided Governor Ayo Fayose over his comments on non-invitation of President Muhammadu Buhari to the weekend inauguration of President Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States, describing the governor as a “reckless interloper and shameless busy-body”.
APC wonders why Fayose loves trivialising issues and dabbles into matters he has no competence in order to present a larger-than-life image of himself.
The party also warned the governor and Ekiti State Judiciary over alleged plot to manipulate the courts in all murder cases allegedly involving the governor, stressing that the party was monitoring all activities by the governor and other individuals to manipulate the cases in favour of the suspects to exonerate them in the murders of eminent Ekiti sons and daughters over political disagreements.
In a remark that sparked national outrage at the weekend, Fayose had mocked Buhari, deriding him for non-invitation by President Trump to his inauguration, citing the American President’s contempt for Buhari over alleged intolerance for the opposition and other anti-democratic practices.
But reacting in a statement on Sunday, APC Publicity Secretary Taiwo Olatunbosun, described Fayose as a man that lacked deep understanding of international politics and diplomacy and who had “elevated gangsterism, hooliganism and thuggery to an act of political valour”.
He added that, “Because Fayose is not educated enough to understand the dynamics and perspectives of international politics and diplomacy, he has reduced the American international and diplomatic politics to the beer parlour politics of muscle-flexing he runs in Ekiti State where all issues are trivialised and individualised for personal benefits to the detriment of the greater good of the people.
“It is a pity that an uninformed upstart is the one calling the shots in the Land of Honour in Ekiti State where knowledge-based information and integrity are the fountains of our development.
“Fayose does not have this, hence he was uninformed about the information in public space that Heads of States and Governments across the globe had no need to attend Trump’s inauguration in Washington but would be represented by their heads of missions in America.
“Apparently not aware of this information and unwilling to be educated on the new American policy thrust, Fayose rolled out the drums in ignorance to celebrate the absence of the President of his country on that important world stage.”
