Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari’s interview with the All Eyes on African TV reporter, Kemi Fadojutimi was conducted in a suite at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja and not in the United Kingdom, as presented by the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation.
A picture of General Buhari and Kemi Fadojutimi was published by national dailies last Friday.
But the Ekiti State governor, who spoke with newsmen in Room 880 of Transcorp Hilton, where he claimed the interview session held, showed journalists a three-seat sofa, table lamp as well as the paintings on the wall of the room with striking similarity with the pictures published by national dailies.
Conducting journalists round, Governor Fayose accused the APC of brazen falsehood and vowed to continue to expose the main opposition party and its presidential candidate.
His words: “I brought you here to see for yourself, the setting of the room in the Hilton where the picture was taken.
“I am not here to deceive Nigerians. They couldn’t find an answer to my allegation. The only thing they could send across is to send this picture in defence of the fact I said General Buhari is in the hospital.
“In my own case, I brought you here to see for yourself.
“The fact speaks for itself. So, I am presenting this for you to see formally so that you can make a judgment.
“Look at the background, look at the flower vase, look at the lamp. The fact speaks for itself. So, I am presenting this for you to see formally so that you can make a judgment.”
The governor restated his claim that the APC presidential candidate was on a sick bed in a hospital in London, receiving treatment for an ailment and was not fit for the exalted office of President.
“Nobody would become the president of Nigeria through deception. I am telling all my supporters all over the world, the APC presidential candidate isn’t having any meeting in London.
“He is on a sick bed in Cavendish Street in London. They should come out and confess to Nigerians that this isn’t a response to my declaration that General Buhari is sick.
“So, this isn’t personal. I am not against the North, I am not against the South, I am saying Nigerians must be given opportunity to elect a President that will endure, a healthy person that will rule this country.” Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Garba Sheu, in his reaction, refrained from commenting on issues raised by Governor Fayose.
He told Daily Sun on phone that his party would not join issues with Governor Fayose
Mallam Sheu said: “We aren’t going to join issues with him. We have issues of national security, stolen money from NPPC’s account and unemployment in the country.
These are the challenges facing Nigerians and that’s what we want to talk about.”

Truly, Buhari here is in London and not sick at all. In fact he will be visiting the house of a prominent northern traditional ruler later today (24/02/2015) in London who I cant mention for his privacy. Hopefully, a friend who is very familiar with the family and the house will be on hand and pictures will be taken and posted here for all to see. Please I do not belong to any party but am very ashamed that Fayose is the governor of my home state. Now we cant boldly tell people that we are from Ekiti anymore in London.
