The
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has felicitated with President Muhammadu
Buhari as he clocks 75.
He however urged the president to quit politics
given his age and fragile health condition.
The governor spoke at a session with journalists
in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday.
Mr. Fayose said the president had served the
nation to be best of his ability in spite of his age, saying he required the
prayers of all Nigerians.
“This is to congratulate Mr President as he
clocks 75. I want to thank God for his life and pray for good health in the
service of our nation and that he continues to age with grace,” he said.
“I wish him the best. He represents us all and
we owe him prayers and co-operation where necessary, just as we also need to
criticise him too where necessary.”
Mr. Fayose said he congratulated President
Buhari, not minding the political differences between them.
He however stated the President should consider
his advice of quitting politics at this stage of his public service.
“I am not a fan of an old man and this is not
personal and peculiar to President Buhari,” he said.
“We
need an agile president come 2019. We need somebody that is experienced and
agile.
“He shouldn’t contest and the decision is his
and his party. But that is not going to stop me and my party from taking over
from him and his party come 2019.”
