buhari-fayose
The Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has again called out president Buhari and his party yet again. Governor Ayo Fayose lashed out at INEC and described it as a branch of APC and said the votes of Nigerians will no longer count. He condemn the proposed loan the federal government was asking for.
He lamented that the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will no longer make the votes of Nigerians count. Vanguard reports that the governor made this statement on an Orange FM, Akure programme on Tuesday, November 1. He said:
“INEC has become an extension of the APC and Aso Rock Presidential Villa.” And that Nigerian’s votes will not matter again”.
“Democracy in Nigeria has suffered a serious setback. If the cabal in the APC led federal government believed that they have defeated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through their manipulation of the electoral process, they should be reminded that they can never defeat the people.”
“This is not democracy. INEC said they did not recognise the Ibadan primary election that produced Jimoh Ibrahim, now the same INEC says he is the candidate. What is it that has changed? “Isn’t it now safe to say that INEC was actually bribed $1m to allow Jimoh Ibrahim to play the spoiler role that he is playing? “Isn’t this development a vindication of my position that other political parties and stakeholders are now contesting election against INEC?”
He however called on Nigerians not to lose hope adding that “You cannot hide behind a finger. This is a phase that will pass, 24 hours is a long time in politics.” On the issue of the proposed loan the federal government was trying to get, Fayose said it would destroy the country. He said:
“That $29.9 billion loan will ruin Nigeria permanently. “This government met $28.4 billion in our Foreign Reserve and has depleted it to $24 billion. “The same government that has reduced our foreign reserve to $24 billion is now going to borrow $29.9 billion when the country is already indebted to the tune of $11 billion and it is servicing debt with about 30 percent of its monthly income. “If with $11 billion debt, 30 percent of the federal government income is being used to service debt, how much will be used to service debt when another $29.9 billion debt is added? How can Nigeria survive when more than 75 percent of its income is being used to service debt?

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards

Clasico conspiracy? The truth on whether Barcelona or Real Madrid receive more red cards.   Both Clasico clubs have regularly claimed to have been victimised by officials but do the official stats support either side's case? Clement Lenglet's dismissal for an alleged elbow on Pere Pons in Barcelona's Liga draw with Girona on Sunday caused all sorts of controversy. Even Pons was surprised by referee Gil Manzano's VAR-assisted decision to dismiss Lenglet, with the midfielder admitting afterwards that he thought that he had fouled the French defender. "I took a blow but when I got up, I apologised to Lenglet and shook his hand because I thought it was my fault," he confessed. As bemused Barca boss Ernesto Valverde pointed out afterwards, "It's the first time that the player who is sent off receives an apology from his rival for fouling him!" It was a significant call, too, as Barcelona were leading through a Lionel Messi...
