Ekiti
State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described the non-extension of invitation
to President Muhammadu Buhari to attend the Donald Trump’s inauguration as a
clear signal that the president does not enjoy international relevance any
more.
The
governor said that the development was a very clear signal that Buhari’s
government would not enjoy tangible support from the new US government.
Fayose,
according to a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication and
New Media, Mr. Lere Olayinka, on Thursday said there is no doubt that
Buhari is not in the good books of the incoming US government.
He argued that Buhari’s frequent
visit to US during Obama administration and the romance was due to the tacit
support given to Buhari by Obama to win the 2015 election with deception.
He said, “With Obama’s role in the
emergence of President Buhari, it can be said that he (Obama) is a member of
the APC in the diaspora.”
” In an important event like this in
US, our president will be missing in action.”
The governor wondered why the same
president, who was a regular visitor to the US under Obama, was today not part
of the historic inauguration of a new administration.
“No doubt, something is
fundamentally wrong because if there is hope of a future relationship between
President Buhari and the new US President, they would have been celebrating his
inauguration and would not have allowed Nigerians to hear any other news apart
from Buhari going to America.
“Obviously, Buhari’s junketing to US
that gulped $1m per trip, has come to an inglorious end,” he said.
