Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State
on Sunday called on the President Muhammadu Buhari led government to stop
“deceiving Nigerians with stories of Boko Haram insurgents defeats and return
of Chibok girls.”
He
made the remark while commiserating with families of the army captain and five
other soldiers reportedly killed yesterday, by Boko Haram insurgents during an
attacked on the Nigeria Army Brigade in Buni Yadi, Yobe State.
This was contained in a statement
signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka.
Fayose maintained that the ongoing war
against the insurgents could only be won through truthful information and
cooperation of all Nigerians.
Frowning at the government victory
claim over Boko Haram, Fayose asked; “If indeed Boko Haram was already
defeated, where are those suicide bombings and attacks coming from?.
“Nigerians are faced with many wars
now, Boko Haram is just one of them and it is worrisome that we are not being
told the truth about
anything.
anything.
“It is like a patient telling his
doctor that nothing is wrong with him. How will such patient be treated?”
The governor said it was “funny” that
the federal government was celebrating the recovery of what they called Boko
Haram flag as a sign of defeat of the insurgents while the sect was busy
“killing our gallant soldiers.”
He claimed that Fulani herdsmen have
killed more Nigerian than Boko Haram insurgents since the inception of the
President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
“The reality is that insecurity has
increased in Nigeria more than President Muhammadu Buhari met it. Herdsmen have
even killed more Nigerians than Boko Haram in the last one year while hundreds
have died through extrajudicial killings by security agencies,” he added.
