Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has denied ever saying that he
would commit suicide
should President Muhammadu Buhari return to the
country alive.
APC supporters in Ekiti State and some other groups had while
celebrating Buhari’s return on Monday in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital,
challenged Fayose to make good on his alleged threat.
But the governor in a statement on Tuesday by his Chief Press
Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, refuted ever making such a threat and said
that it was the creation of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The statement stated in part, “Mr. Fayose never said he would commit
suicide if the President returns to the country. It is the creation of
the APC. It is their style to create such falsehood?”
Buhari returned to Nigeria on Saturday after spending 103 days on a follow-up treatment in London.
During his stay in London Fayose had claimed that Buhari had been on
life support since June and even threatened to make public pictures of
the president to prove his claim.
