Minister of state for works, Prince Adedayo Adeyeye has maintained that the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, General Mohammadu Buhari is not an alternative to Nigeria’s democratic process and has described him as an unrepentant enemy of the Yoruba group in the South West Nigeria.
He submitted that for Buhari and his party allies to get the votes the Yoruba people, he will have to tender a public apology to the south western group.
Adeyeye, in a statement released from Ado Ekiti, on Monday, January 12, 2015 reviewed all the programmes and policies of the APC presidential candidate while he was in power as the Head of State and also the chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF, submitted that Buhari remains number one enemy of the Yoruba people.
“Buhari must be rejected by all true sons and daughters of Oduduwa,” he stated.
Adeyeye further analysed the irreparable damage the former Head of State did to Lagos State and the entire Yoruba race, citing the cancellation of the Lagos Metroline Project which was initiated by the civilian government and how he destroyed the educational policy of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s Free Education Programme.
He also challenged the APC presidential candidate to mention one single project that he carried out in the Southwest when he was Head of State and Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF.
Adeyeye critically noted, “Buhari did not only cancel the Metroline Project, he went ahead to pay what was enough to complete the project as compensation to the French Company that handled the project.
“The idea of developing rapid transit in Lagos dated from the 1980s with the Lagos Metroline network conceived by the Alhaji Lateef Jakande during the Second Republic,” Adeyeye said.
