FAYOSE SEEKS PHONE CONVERSATION WITH BUHARI

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari, to speak with him to prove that he is hale and hearty instead of shopping for outsiders to speak with.

Fayose said Nigerians would be more convinced if the President spoke with him.

The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, noted that Buhari had reportedly in one week spoken with the King of Morocco and the president of the African Union.

Fayose said, "If their problem is that they are looking for a credible person who can help them convince Nigerians that all is well with our President, I'm their best bet.

"Let the President speak with me. If I tell Nigerians that the President spoke with me, Nigerians will believe.

"Since they are eager for the President to speak to people; believing in this way to convince Nigerians that their President is hale and hearty, let President Buhari talk to me. I can be reached on 08035024994. I am credible and Nigerians will believe me," he said.

According to him, Nigerians are getting suspicious of all the purported visits to Buhari in London as well as his telephone conversations with international figures who Nigerians cannot trust to give a true and unbiased report about the President's state of health.
