Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun Blast Ekiti State Governor Over Death Remarks To Buhari

                     

In Amosun’s opinion, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate is stronger than Fayose.

 According to Sahara Reporters, Ogun governor made his position known February 23 as he spoke with journalists in Abeokuta.

It is worth mentioning that in one of the recent developments Fayose alleged that Buhari visited the UK over his poor health and not for the reasons he officially provided. Amosun characterized the whole situation as shameful for Yoruba:

“It’s a big shame from the quarters where the ‎allegation came from. We are Yoruba.

“There is an unwritten rule: t’aba n ja, bi ti ka ku ko (Even if we are quarelling, it is not to wish each other dead).

“Even in this instance, we are not fighting. We want to represent our people. How can a sane person wish somebody else dead. It is a disgrace to our race as Yoruba for somebody to be wishing another person dead.

  General Muhammadu Buhari is even stronger than the character that is saying the man is weak; maybe because of the military background.

“Even because of the way I walk, it’s like catching up with him. For his age, maybe because of his military background. It’s like seeing Baba Obasanjo too and say he’s old.

“This is the man that is very agile; we are even telling him that you have to slow down. This is the man that we met together with Tony Blair. We left the place and we went to about five different places. The man is hale and hearty.

“Even when we went to Ben Television, I told him ‘you can’t follow me, you have to go home’. He was willing, he was ready even in the cold. The man was walking round.”

Commenting on the controversy raised over Buhari’s  visit to London, Amosun said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was saying”rubbish” by accusing Buhari of doctoring photos.

“Politics shouldn’t be like‎ this; saying that he (Buhari) has three months to live. They are just talking rubbish.

“Politics will finish. Where would they be when you begin to talk this rubbish? I think it’s a shame and I think they are descending to a level that is unheard of, that negates reasonableness and good thinking. It’s against our tradition as Yoruba.”
