Fayose had at a recent graduation ceremony of College of Education, Ikere-Ekiti, accused the Buhari led administration of paying out the lowest-ever federally distributed allocations among the three tiers of the government and asking President Muhammadu Buhari to address Nigerians on the state of the economy.
Garba Shehu, the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity in a chat with pressmen last night, described Fayose’s assertion as one that was characteristic of his past outbursts, saying “the governor didn’t get his facts correct.”
According to the presidential spokesman, records of such past allocations showed “that the lowest-ever allocation to the three tiers was issued by the PDP-led Goodluck Jonathan administration.”
Cautioning the Ekiti State chief executive to be mindful of his utterances, Shehu said:
“Governor Fayose needs to be advised to desist from spreading falsehood against the person and government of President Muahmmadu Buhari as has become characteristic of him. He needs to get his facts right before making accusations of the nature he makes.
