The Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar, Mr Phrank Shaibu, has said that former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, was correct to have described former Governor Nyesom Wike as “an average mad man”.
Shaibu said this in reaction to Fayose’s interview on Channels Television, wherein he stated, “Wike is an articulate capacity person. Nigeria needs an average mad person.”
Wike had himself informed Kogi delegates on May 4, 2022, that Nigeria needed a mad man to govern when he stated that, “I can bring the country back on its track of greatness. It doesn’t matter where you are from. It takes a mad man to govern Nigeria.”
Reacting to Fayose’s interview, Shaibu said appointing Wike as a minister would be tantamount to allowing a lunatic to run an asylum.
Shaibu said, “We want to appreciate Fayose for describing Wike as an ‘average mad man’. Indeed, it is only a mad person who can use violence to prevent people from coming into a state to campaign. It takes madness to subvert the will of the people.”
Atiku’s aide said Fayose should have been man enough to publicly campaign for Bola Tinubu during the run-up to the presidential election instead of coming out now.
He added that Fayose was only running from pillar to post in order to get Tinubu to discontinue his N1.7bn corruption case at the Federal High Court.
Shaibu said, “On September 20, 2022, Fayose, while addressing supporters in Ado Ekiti publicly stated that he would be supporting Waziri Atiku Abubakar despite Wike’s protests. A simple Google search will confirm this.
“Then after Tinubu’s dubious victory, Fayose quickly changed gears, stating that he was the one who delivered Ekiti State to the APC. This is his stock in trade. He is a lily-livered rabble-rouser who loves to be in the spotlight and pretends to be more popular than he really is.”
