I Was Ready To Rant On Buhari’s Death’ – Fayose Makes Sh*cking Revelation

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has revealed that he had initially planned to publicly criticize the late former President Muhammadu Buhari upon his death, but was dissuaded by his wife.

Fayose made this disclosure during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday. He expressed frustration over the tendency of Nigerians to glorify leaders only after they pass away, regardless of their performance while alive.

“Nigerians only eulogize the dead. When Buhari died, I wanted to publicly condemn him, but my wife urged me to hold back,” he said.

Fayose asserted that Buhari’s administration fell short of expectations during his eight years in power, adding:

“Would you say Buhari performed? I’m not one to praise the dead. Don’t honour me when I die—when I’m gone, I’m gone.”

He contrasted Buhari’s leadership with that of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that, unlike his predecessor, Tinubu is approachable and open to dialogue.

“Tinubu is accessible. Was Buhari accessible? Back then, we all saw what the country became under his leadership. Now, many of those issues are no longer present in the system.”

While not declaring Tinubu perfect, Fayose said he believes the current president inherited a broken system and needs time to fix it.

“Nigeria is deeply troubled—it would take a divine miracle to turn things around overnight. No one can perform magic in two years. Tinubu inherited a collapsing economy,” he added.
