Why I Place ‘Death Wish’ Advert of Buhari – Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, has declared that the advert he placed in which he raised doubts about the health status of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), was neither a death wish nor laced with sinister motives.

Fayose clarified that his reason for taking the step was to prevent a recurrence of constitutional crisis, which the sudden demise of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had created in the country.

He, however, reiterated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the February 14 presidential election, President Goodluck Jonathan, will win the election convincingly.

The Governor stated this in Ado Ekiti on Saturday while playing host to a team of American diplomats in his office led by the United States Consul-General in Lagos, Mr. Jeffrey Hawkins.

Fayose said the state witnessed a peaceful poll last year during the governorship election, expressing confidence that the standard this time around would not be lower.

Explaining to the diplomats about the advertorial, Fayose said it was not a death wish advert but to appeal to sense of reasoning to prevent the episode of 2010 when the National Assembly had to invoke Doctrine of Necessity for President Jonathan, the then Vice-President, to take over in acting capacity, when Yar’Adua had been incapacitated by sickness.

Sorry can you help me ask Fayose, how did the death of Yaradua cause a constitutional problem? The constitution is clear "in the demise of the President the vice takes over" Can someone tell Ekiti state governor what the constitution says because it seems he doesn't know. And he is ruling a state.
