Fayose praises Buhari’s inaugural speech

Firstclass newsline learnt that the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele
Fayose, has hailed the inaugural speech of President Muhammadu Buhari,
describing it as a sign that the president is ready to serve all
Nigerians, not minding their political affiliation.
The governor said, "The content of the president's speech showed a man
who is desirous of making a success of his administration."
According to the statement issued by the governor's Special Assistant
on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor
also hailed the immediate past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan,
describing him as a good democrat.
The governor said; "Nigerians, including those who voted and did not
vote for President Buhari were eagerly waiting for his inaugural
speech.
"The speech, if followed in practice shows that he is ready to govern
Nigeria. It is a sign that the President is ready to live above board
and lead a government that accommodates all.
"It is my prayer that the Almighty Allah will grant our President the
courage and wherewithal to make a success of his administration and
further deepen democratic governance, especially in a confederation
like Nigeria by sustaining the rule of law."
Speaking further, Governor Fayose, who urged the president to make
sure that his name was not used surreptitiously by anyone to muscle
the opposition, added that as the President of Nigeria, he had the
constitutional duty to protect all Nigerians, not minding the
political party they belong to.
While praising former President Goodluck Jonathan for his love for
peace and progress of the country, Governor Fayose said; "With what
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan did, history will never forget him as the man
who laid an enduring foundation for democracy in Nigeria."
He said Friday's event midwifed by Dr. Jonathan and President Buhari
proved to the whole world that the black people of Africa were capable
of piloting their own affairs.
