Ekiti state’s Governor Ayodele Fayose, has dared President Muhammadu Buhari to arrest him, saying he is a dictator.

“They say he (Buhari) is coming after me, I am ready,” Fayose said during an interview on The Osasu Show which was broadcast on AIT.

He quoted Hebrew 13: 6 in the Bible, saying “it is very clear that because we have God, we fear not what men will do to us”.

The governor, who is one of the fiercest critics of Mr. Buhari, said everybody can’t belong to the same political party, and that he was entitled to his view. “You can’t silence everyone,” he said.

He also questioned Buhari’s capacity to solve Nigeria’s economic crisis. He said Mr. Buhari was “still in an analogue stage”, and that the president was clueless on the nation’s economy.

“I am saying it expressly, (that) the president does not understand the economy,” said Governor Fayose.

“If you understand the economy you can do everything simultaneously without rocking the boat.

“You go out telling the whole world that your country is corrupt, you destroy all your people, and you expect them (foreigners) to do business with your people?

“That is not how to operate,” said Mr. Fayose.

The Ekiti governor insisted that President Buhari’s war against corruption was selective and political.

He said, “When (former Nigerian president) Obasanjo left prison, did he declare his assets?

“The library Obasanjo has today, where did the money come from? His house in Abeokuta, where did the money come from?

“Even Buhari himself declared cattle and mud houses. He said he doesn’t have money. From where did the (presidential) campaign money come from?”

The governor also identified lack of electricity power and other infrastructure, including lack of capital, as the major factors against economic diversification in Nigeria.

“If I want to diversify, for instance, the money I got for last month was N1.3 billion. And my wage bill is N2.6 billion, aside security, electricity, water and basic essential services to the people.

“Do I use this money for diversification at the expense of the people?

“No I can`t!

“So, it is an uphill task. It is not impossible, but it an uphill task.

“My first counsel to the federal government is that they should stop the noise about corruption, and face this economy.

“They should be sincere more about the economy than playing to the gallery,” Governor Fayose said.
