Former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has said President Muhammadu Buhari does not have regard for the legislature and judiciary.
The comment was a result of Buhari’s failure to honour the house of representatives invite over the rising insecurity in the country, Fayose asked: “how else do you describe a dictator?”
On December 1, the lower legislative chamber of the national assembly had passed a resolution asking the president to appear before it.
The intention came after meeting with the president at Aso Rock, Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the house of representatives, had announced that Buhari had agreed to meet with the lawmakers.
Thursday 10th December was fixed for the meeting and the president was expected to address a joint session of the national assembly.
On Wednesday 9th December, the tone of dance changed when Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF), said the national assembly does not have the power to summon PMB.
In a series of tweets on Thursday, Fayose, a strong critic of the president, had said he knew and said it that Buhari would not honour the invitation.
He said Nigerians were misled to have elected Buhari as the President.
“I said it on December 1, that President Buhari won’t honour the House of Reps invitation on the worsened security situation in the country. Truly he didn’t. With a democratically elected President who does not have regard for other arms of govt,- how else do you describe a dictator,” Fayose wrote.
He said further:
“Before and after 2015, those of you who were opposed to my views on the Buhari’s Presidency then cannot but agree today that Nigerians were misled to have elected him. Methinks they should publicly apologize for misleading Nigerians just like others have been doing.”
