The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has commended Gover­nor Ayodele Fayose, for his brave analysis on how Nigeria is being run by President Muhammadu Buhari.

PDP said if Gover­nor Fayose had not been criticising what it alleged as Buhari’s dictatorial tendencies, the situation would have been worse.

This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Ado Ekiti at the weekend by the par­ty’s state Publicity Secre­tary, Jackson Adebayo.

Adebayo, who urged other PDP governors to support Fayose’s patriotic efforts in this regard, stat­ed that the governor was making a great sacrifice to the nation.

Said he: “All members of the opposition should rise like Governor Fayose, to challenge all moves by the Federal Government to turn Nigeria into a Ba­nana Republic.

“It has become impera­tive for all members of the opposition to rise against the Federal Government, with the way and manner with which President Bu­hari is handling matters of national importance.”

Adebayo also urged Ni­gerians not to fold their arms in the face of tyr­anny, but join Governor Fayose in his critical ap­proach to the activities of the Federal Government.

He added: “If Nigeri­ans decide not to allow this by voicing out their rejection of his policies, then ‘calamity’ could be prevented.”

The party also called on the President to al­ways respect the rule of law upon which he rode to power, saying anything short of that portends bad omen for Nigeria’s de­mocracy.
