During an interview on "The Osasu Show" which was broadcasted on AIT television, the governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, has called President Muhammadu Buhari a dictator, while also daring the president to arrest him.

 

"They say he (Buhari) is coming after me, I am ready," the governor said.

 

In the interview, Gov. Fayode made reference to the Holy Bible, Hebrew 13: 6 and said "It is very clear that because we have God, we fear not what men will do to us."

 

The governor, who is one of the fiercest critics of President Buhari, said everybody can’t belong to the same political party, and that he was entitled to his view. "You can’t silence everyone," he said.

 

In the interview, the governor also questioned the capacity of Buhari to solve Nigeria’s economic crisis. He said Buhari was 'still in an analogue stage', and that the president was clueless on the nation’s economy.

 

"I am saying it expressly, (that) the president does not understand the economy. If you understand the economy you can do everything simultaneously without rocking the boat.

"You go out telling the whole world that your country is corrupt, you destroy all your people, and you expect them (foreigners) to do business with your people? That is not how to operate," said Mr. Fayose.

 

The governor insisted that President Buhari’s war against corruption was selective and political.

 

"When (former Nigerian president) Obasanjo left prison, did he declare his assets? The library Obasanjo has today, where did the money come from? His house in Abeokuta, where did the money come from?

"Even Buhari himself declared cattle and mud houses. He said he doesn’t have money. From where did the (presidential) campaign money come from?"

 

He said Nigerian leaders weren’t committed to the idea of diversifying the country’s economy. "Each of them looks forward to another election rather than look forward to the future of the country," he said.

 

"My first counsel to the federal government is that they should stop the noise about corruption, and face this economy. They should be sincere more about the economy than playing to the gallery," Governor Fayose said.

 

The governor advised the federal government to make agriculture attractive to farmers all over the country
