Attacks on OBJ, Buhari: Fayose just wants to be noticed – APC
All Progressive Congress (APC), Osun State chapter, has alleged that Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose's attacks on APC Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, was to gain recognition.
Osun State Chairman of the party, Prince Gboyega Famoodun, said this while speaking to newsmen on Wednesday in Osogbo.
He also said comments by Fayose was an indication that the ruling Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) was afraid of defeat at the polls.
He said those campaigning against the emergence of Buhari because of his age were unaware of how the experience of respected leader like Nelson Mandela, who led South Africa when he was 75 years, aided the development of the country.
He said: "Former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, became president at age 75. I don't know why some people are just making noise about Buhari's age and health status. Buhari is healthy and competent to rule this country.
"The claims by Governor Fayose that Buhari is not healthy is a ruse. Fayose is just looking for recognition. He is not a serious person; he is only looking for attention."
In another development, the APC chairman alleged that the Federal government frustrated efforts by Osun State government to secure loan from Bank of Infrastructure to Finance Osogbo/Ila-Odo road project.
He added: "Drop in funds accruing to the state from the federation account was the cause of delay in payment of salaries of workers. This irregular payment of salaries may affect the chances of the party in next month's polls."
He commended the patience of workers in the state, saying they would be paid promptly as soon as earnings improves
