I stand by claim that President Buhari went into coma – Fayose

Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has said that his agitation and revelation was responsible for ‘the return of President Buhari last Saturday.

Fayose, who was speaking to leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party at the government office, said he stands by all his claims about the President being in coma on July 6, adding that he had no apology whatsoever for all he had said.

“Truth is that the pressure from me and many other Nigerians made the president to return home. They have been treating this matter under the table forgetting that the life of a president is an open book that can be read by everybody and anybody.

“What I am saying in effect is that it is in the overall interest of everybody that we have a president that is strong enough to do the job.

“Today, they have cancelled the Federal Executive Council meeting. You cannot hide the truth forever, it will reveal itself someday. You cannot continue to deceive Nigerians.

“Let Buhari go back to Daura and rest. Don’t send him to early grave. Buhari is not old enough to be my father, my mother is older than Buhari, he cannot be my father, he can only be my uncle. I am close to 60.

“I stand by all I have said about the President. We are glad he is back, but don’t over flog him.

“I am not a sycophant and I stand to speak for Nigeria. Somebody must be able to speak on behalf of the poor masses. This was how they deceived us during the time of Yar’Adua. I am not an hypocrite and I will never be one.

“I have said it severally and without apologies. Everything I said when the President was away, I stand by them.

“The president actually went into coma and this was attested to by what one of the governors who visited him when he was abroad said that his recovery was a miracle.

“When somebody’s recovery is a miracle it simply means something very serious happened to the person.

“Since the President himself cannot disclose his health status and also the extent of his ailment. It apparently shows that there is so much to hide. Not until civil societies and people like us started making noise.

“You can’t be our president without us knowing what is happening to you. So, for me, the president went to coma July 6.

“Today, they can come back and organise rallies and all that; they attested to the fact the President recovered by miracle which we are glad about. We are happy that he is back But when you look physically look at the President he is physically. You will see that he is emaciated tired and weak”, he added.

Asked if he would oblige if invited to see Buhari, Fayose said: ” I cannot go and greet the president if invited and the reason is that such action would be misinterpreted to be something else. So, it is good for me to wish him well from a distant and be able to tell Nigerians the truth.”

Denying that he ever said he would commit suicide should Buhari return home as being speculated in the social media, he said: ” I can’t commit suicide because of an old man. Such are from miscreants on the social media. Let me tell you expressly, why would I commit suicide?

“I cannot commit suicide because of my mother. Even if they are burying my mother now, I will cleverly stay away from the grave so that I won’t fall into it. I can’t commit suicide because of Buhari. I never said that and will never made such statement.

“Truth is that the pressure from me and many other Nigerians made the president to return home. They have been treating this matter under the table forgetting that the life of a president is an open book that can be read by everybody and anybody.

“What I am saying in effect is that it is in the overall interest of everybody that we have a president that is strong enough to do the job, ” Fayose insisted.
