A former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has tackled Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State for his “constant unwarranted verbal attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari and his family members.”
He described Fayose’s utterances as, “unbecoming of a governor.”
Kalu, who spoke in Lokoja, at the weekend, during the inauguration of the Ndigbo Support Group for Governor Yahaya Bello, urged Fayose to be constructive and fair in his criticisms.
“My friend, Governor Ayo Fayose, should focus his criticisms of Buhari on performance, not on his family, not on his health, not on personal basis.
“While I was governor, we focused our criticisms on former President, Obasanjo, on performance and the interest of our people. Politics is about interest; it is not about damage to families or personal interest,” Kalu said.
Also speaking at the occasion, Governor Bello said the unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable, adding that his administration deliberately appointed non indigenes, particularly the Igbo, to occupy strategic positions in his government as part of plans to make Kogi a unifying factor in Nigeria.
