Chibok girls release claim may be “propaganda” – Fayose

October 13, 2016Josiah Oluwole

Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has expressed doubts at the claims by the Federal Government that it has secured the release of 21 of the 219 girls abducted by Boko Haram in 2014 in Chibok, Borno state.

In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Mr. Fayose said the claims could be another diversionary tactic of the Federal Government.

“Nigerians are no longer interested in the lies and make believes of the APC- led federal
government. Rather, Nigerians want the economy fixed and food on their tables,” he said.

He said Nigerians should wait to see the set of girls said to have been released before drawing any conclusion.

“As for me, I keep my fingers crossed on this reported release of 21 Chibok girls. This is because we were once told by this same government that one of the girls was released and the girl, who was supposed to be writing Physics WAEC examination then could not speak one sentence in English,” Mr. Fayose said.

“Again, it was reported yesterday that Boko Haram bombed Maiduguri, Borno State and killed more than 10 people. How the same Boko Haram insurgents that bombed Maiduguri yesterday could release 21 Chibok girls today is a question Nigerians must ask.

“Until proved otherwise, the story still appears like one of the diversionary tactics of the federal government.”

While alleging that the federal government was evading the hoopla created by the SSS arrest of judges by the Chibok girls story, the governor said the economy deserved better attention than propaganda.

“We have heard enough stories on corruption, the federal government should give Nigerians food. The people are suffering and their sufferings must be attended to by the federal government,” he said.

“Propaganda, cheap lies and diversionary tactics must give way for serious governance.”

Mr foul mouthed governor again. I doubt if he will ever believe PMB has won the 2015 election or today is Thursday. For “governor”doubting the authenticity of the released of these girls is akin to doubting he is the so called Governor of his State.

Your right Gov Fayose, you making more sense to me than the inept we have in Aso rock
- sheyman
  
  Your IQ needs to be questioned if you believe fayose is making sense
  - Kudo
    
    Your IQ needs to be questioned too. Who has been feeding these girls 3x a day for 18 months. So boko haram is so rich to able to afford 3 squared meals to these children. Something is not right. What about accomadation? Nigerians are so gullible that they do not ask questions. We will ever remain third world country with this type of mentality and sentiment.
    - Sam
      
      They will also eat what BH is feeding on now. What kinda of question is that .
      - Kudo
        
        Of course they are eating what boko haram is eating, on whose expense. So boko is so rich that they can afford to feed 200 girls. This does not add up

Buhari governmemt, is keeping their pictures secret because of security reasons (lia mohsmmrd). They have the yam and a cutlass, they have the right to cut it at any angle.

Please do not blame Fayose. A man who asked Obasanjo a farmer to come and open a poultry with chickens that do not have droppings. Obasanjo then asked Fayose in 2016 how come this poultry does not have the smell of the normal droppings chicken pass. Lo and behold the chicken were hired by Fayose from another farm just for the opening. So such a man can never think people can do things honestly. Even if eclipse occurs he would accuse PMB of arranging it.
Tanimu Garba Mohammed

I haven’t heard from this foul mouthed piece of shit called Fayose for a while. He has been a little bit quite since EFCC froze his account

  Now he has spoken. Go f*ck yasef.

Should we pray that everyone including Fayose that makes light of Chibok girls and their parents plight experience the same very soon. What a sad event to be politicized.

God will punish this fayose man and his evil mouth organ

  Why the abuse? Why don’t you respond to Fayose’s observations? I hope that you had a good upbringing.

Bad product from Ekiti.

  Says who? Are you from Ekiti? Leave our governor alone joor. Bad post from bad guy.
Dike

So this book haram is so powerful that the government has to trade some prisoned terrorists in order to secure the release of only 21 out of over 200 abducted girls? I thought the government claimed they have crushed book haram so how come about this? It’s a pity! This government has succeeded to deceive light brain Nigerians. I sense foul play somewhere! So what about the remaining girls, where are they? Why only 21? I am sorry for any nation that negotiates with terrorist group! The doom is closer! Soon or letter it will blow! Nigeria sorry!!!
Dingo

Fayose ought to be ashamed of himself. All honour and human value have deserted him. What a pity !
- Lakeside
  
  How about you? Go take your drugs jare!
  - Ogbeni Leke Olowe
    
    Must u abuse people before u could be noticed? Why not make ur own point. If any of his families are among the abducted girls am sure his disposition will be different. All must not be politics there should be elements ofvhuman feeling.

sometimes, I keep wondering why you people always comment to a drug addict Fayose’s articles or post. Check Fayose pocket or room and you will find different hard drugs like tramadol, codin, cocain even gum and etc. So, my people what ever he said, pls consider him as an insane man who has lost millions of cells in his brain.

  Yet you are commenting… go take your medicine joor. We don’t want you here.

Ayo Aiyelabola

It is on record that Fayose once doubted that Chibok girls were ever abducted. So if he calls the story of the release of some of mere propaganda we should not be surprised. One thing is sure, reckoning day is coming soon for the likes of Fayose and Wike. Let both of them show their score sheet in the governance of their respective states.
Lanre

Governor Fayose. You might be on to something. After all the negative press from arresting judges, Buhari – The magician who will turn $1 to =N= needs to pull another trick out of his hat. Otherwise, I found it quite interesting that all the girls released were Christians who are being persecuted in Sharia Northern Nigeria.
hassan

Fayose keep saying the truth, whether they believe it or not, keep doing what you know how to do, nigeria a gulliable and will never accept the truth. what happened to the remaining girls, how can they only negiotiate with just 21 girls, nigerians please think.
- item7
  
  My dear, read history of hostage taking and acquaint yourself with what Is called proof of life and confidence building. The other party Nigeria reciprocate by offering to meet part of the bargain. Refer FACE of Columba. Release of hostages are always in batches.

    It is a scam by the North and Apc to get power. Now they can’t make use of the power. They have dragged Nigeria into an unnecessary Stagflationary Recession. We are watching. Many Nigerians are fooled by Buhari and Apc. We are wiser than that.Even Aisha has started to shout. Shenanigans

Olayinka Taofiq Raji

This particular Governor is supposed to be an elder statesman with considerable resources to at least verify any claim by the Federal Government before making any assertions or releasing a whole press release and doubting the veracity of the statement. Even if fayose wants to be an opposition, at least he should do it in a responsible and humane way possible. He has never being in the news for any developmental project in the state he governs and yet he still doubt and make unnecessary press release on those trying to make an efforts degrading there efforts, these girls were kidnapped under the watch of your so called party in government and nothing could be done about it, you even said on record that there kidnap was a ruse, pls Gov fayose, you are becoming a laughing stock in Nigerian political space, cos dere are governors working and making an impact in there state without so much noise. Pls make an impact on Ekiti state before you can have the moral standing to comment on the Federal Government
- Sam
  
  God bless you brother. The governor is very insensitive
  - John
    
    I pray what befall the parents of these kidnapped children will visit your family in the near future.
    - Sam
      
      Unfortunately, God does not answer that kinds of prayer and Satan has lost all battles over my life. So, save your prayers for your family.
      
      By the way, read my comment and you will see how irrelevant your prayer is.

  Well said, the useless governor cannot even affect the lives of Ekiti people positively yet he is trying so hard to undermine the efforts of the federal government who is so committed in rescuing the captured girls and making Nigeria a better place for us all.

This man seriously needs the attention of a psychiatrist because I strongly believe that he has a very serious mental case.Here was a man who described the abduction of these girls as a ruse,now that the reality of his misguided utterances are dawning at him,he is coming out with another thrash.Fayose is supposed to be a statesman despite his being in opposition,but his actions totally portrays him as a vagabond.

This tout washed up governor who has his head in the sand will always want to be relevant with air spilling out of his mouth. He should wary about paying up his state workers and also sorting out his issue with Zenith and Skye bank before his state people start emigrating to another state. He needs the attention of a psychiatrist and should be placed on compulsory remand home.

Gov Ayo Fayose, a voice of the speechless people. A vibrant opposition leader, the only Gov in Nigeria who tackles Buhari led federal govt head-on. The only Gov in Nigeria who speaks sense, who tells the truth and common sense.

Your haters all the mentally under developed and misled APC members who talk rubbish against you, shall all be put to shame.

Gov Ayo Fayose, I concur with you, please continue your goodwork.
- dele20
  
  Fayoshame is not tackling PMB but only displaying trash, you better wake up

    He is tackling the tyrant and Dictator. Buhari has ruined the economy of Nigeria. Fayose is on track. All the lies from Apc have repercussions for them.
    - dele20
      
      So you can be easily deceived by pdp’s lies in a political strategies, GEJ /PDP ruined the economy
      - Ken
        
        Under GEJ the economy was booming. Forget the blatant lies by Buhari and Apc. Inflation was less than 9%. Prices of things were still ok. Is it GEJ that made prices to go up or the unworkable and vision less policies under Buhari. Truth is bitter but must be told.
      - dele20
        
        Stop deceiving yourself, GEJ really sucked Nigeria dry, everybody knows that

    How mañy times will Buhari Lair Muhammed APC deceive you before you can realisr that you beind deceived? We were told that Chibok girls went to write physics in WAEC before their kidnap.
    
    Now they claimed that 21 of them have been release by a faction of boko haram. Can’t they at least have one of them talk to us in english about their odeal in captivity with boko haram.
    
    Have you not ask yourself, why are they shielding them from talking to Nigerian.

What has been the results of previous WAEC exams from that part of Nigeria and quality of students? that will serve as a guide to know the capacity of these girls to speak English,again,we all know having seen physical evidence that there is a government girls secondary school Chibok that was burnt down and ransacked,if Fayose still has doubts,where then are the students of that school?
