APC Chairman, Oyegun blasts Fayose over criticism of Buhari’s foreign trips

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has lashed out at the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and other opposition leaders for criticising President Muhammudu Burhari’s foreign trips.Addressing newsmen in Benin, the Edo State capital, Oyegun described such criticism as insensitive and a display of ignorance on issues affecting the country.

Oyegun said those opposed to the nation’s growth and development were bent on frustrating the efforts of the President to revitalise Nigeria’s ailing economy

According to Oyegun, “Most people do not recognise the very sorry state of the nation’s economy and the fact that the country’s economy was run aground and the crashed economy which contributed in no small measure towards the crash of crude oil from N120 per barrel to a miserable N30 to N40 per barrel at the international market.

‎“I hope Fayose did not really do what we are told he did. I don’t think even he is capable as descending into these low depth. But if he did, I feel sorry for him and the people of the state. Nigerians should ask Fayose what he was doing in China. Anyway, we are not bothered; the president is not bothered.”

‎He maintained that Buhari was on a mission to rescue the nation from her present socio-political and economic challenges.
