GMB in London hospital, Fayose insists

 

                 Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose has insisted that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, is receiving treatment in a London hospital.
               According to him, the interview Buhari granted a London based television station, All Eyes on Africa, was conducted in one of the rooms in the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.
                 The governor stated these at a media briefing in Abuja on Monday, even as he admitted that he participated in the June 20, 2014 Ekiti governorship election meeting, secretly recorded in an audio tape by Capt. Sagir Koli.
“Yes, the voice in that audio tape is mine. If you listened very wel
l, you would have heard me complaining about attempts by the APC to rig the election,” Fayose stated.
The governor denied reports that he had sent some people on Buhari’s trail in London, saying the allegation was petty.
“At Buhari’s age I don’t need to run after him. My prayer is that he lives long. Buhari is old even to govern a state. He is frail, old and not strong to run the affairs of this country.
“Gen. Buhari is not well, he is sick in the hospital. This is not personal. I am not against the north, I am not against the south. Our leaders should show us their medical records.
“I am saying ‎that Nigeria needs a healthy leader who will be able to address the problems of this country. Even in advanced countries, those wishing to lead present their medical records because they know the amount of energy to be deployed,” the governor said.
