Fayose also criticized those advocating a second term for Buhari but denied that he was nursing a presidential ambition.
The governor made the comments on Sunday, April 3, 2016, during an interactive session in Lagos.
“Buhari
has no luck. The economy may shut down anytime from now because of the
inconsistency of the government policy. The president must learn to stay
at home,” Fayose said according to ThisDay.
“Anybody flying the kite of Sheriff and Fayose is the
deceit of the highest order. Again, even if it is the Senate, I am not
going to contest. Nobody contests the office of the Vice President you
can only become the Vice President of Nigeria if God wants you to be.
“May
I make it expressly clear that if Ali Modu Sheriff wants to contest as
president of Nigeria in 2019, I will not support him, I am a man known
for my words of honour. We must operate based on principle if our
country is to move forward.
“This is cheap
blackmail orchestrated to give people the impression that I have
ambition that is why I am doing all these. I am the most senior governor
in Nigeria and if I were to be in a party like the APC, they will be
celebrating me every day. They (APC) know I am critical of the bad
policies of the APC administration.
“Those
promoting Buhari for 2019 should stop. I have told Nigerians that Buhari
does not have the capacity now to govern Nigeria. What capacity will he
display in seven years time? Currently as it stands, the President is
challenged by age,” the governor added.
