The Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has charged the Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government of Nigeria to look into political solution for the agitations by ethnic-based groups in the country rather than the employment of what he described as “brute force”.
Fayose, made this declaration in a statement on Thursday after the South East governors meeting with leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
In the statement released by his special assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Mr Lere Olayinka, Fayose said “the meeting has provided a veritable platform, which all Igbos must key into otherwise they will remain guinea pig as long as this country exists.”
Speaking through his media aid Fayose appealed to the Federal Government to employ political solutions to agitations by Nigerians as against the use of brute force, which had become the hallmark of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government.
Fayose who remained committed to the call for full and total restructuring of Nigeria through dialogue and negotiation said he was particularly glad that South East governors have come to the realization that they cannot ignore their own in times like these as agitations are normal and must not be ignored, although the approach should be handled with caution because it is too late for Nigeria to disintegrate.
While blaming the actions and utterances of President Muhammadu Buhari for the agitations going on in the country, the governor said “the father figure of this country is President Buhari and if his language does not represent unity, there will be agitations like we are witnessing now.
