Fayose Attacks Buhari’s For Late Response To The killing Of 118 Nigerian Soldiers By Boko Haram

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari for waiting for days before saying anything about the killing of 118 Nigerian soldiers by Boko Haram at  Metele village, Guzamala local government area of Borno State, on Monday, November 19, 2018.

On Saturday, November 24, 2018, President Buhari reacted to the attack after waiting for about five days. He assured Nigerians of his commitment to ensuring the security of lives and property. Read the report HERE.

Following the late response, Fayose attacked Buhari via his Twitter account. He said:

“Nigeria and its people must reject a Commander-in-chief who will wait for four days to express shock over the brutal killing of over 100 of his soldiers. His time is up!

“If it were to be issues concerning his reelection bid, he will be aware immediately and deploy necessary agencies of govt, but on the killing of over 100 of our soldiers by Boko Haram, our President was not aware until about 7pm today and they said he was shocked! His time is up!

“May our departed gallant soldiers rest in peace and may God deliver our country from the hands of a Commander-in-chief that will wait for days to express shock over the brutal killing of over 100 of his soldiers.”
