Ayo Fayose, a former Governor of Ekiti State, has lambasted the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the President Muhammadu Buhari government for failing to fulfil their promises to Nigerians, says SaharaReporters.
SaharaReporters quoted Fayose as saying that the living conditions of Nigerians have become worse since the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was ousted from power by the APC and Buhari.
He noted that the honourable thing for Buhari to do is to resign, describing the President as shameless for refusing to do so, not unlike many African leaders who stay put in power amid glaring failures.

“Let me tell you the truth, this government, they’re 419 (fraudsters), original one. They defrauded Nigerians. Someone tells you when he becomes President, the dollar will be one to one and they went further to tell you that these refineries that you see when they come back, Nigeria will have enough fuel and will export to other countries. These things are not adding up.
