Why Buhari Didn’t Approve Fayose’s Impeachment – Adesina

Major General Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has revealed why the president did not approve the impeachment of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose when he had the power and opportunity.

Adesina made the revelation in an article he wrote to commemorate Buhari’s 80th birthday, which is set for December 17. (tomorrow).

The president’s special adviser stated that because Buhari has “no malicious bone in his body,” he did not impeach Fayose through the Ekiti State House of Assembly, which was largely dominated at the time by members of the All Progressives Congress.

In the article titled ‘Buhari at 80: No Malicious Bone in His Body,’ Adesina recalled how Fayose had attacked Buhari in the run-up to the 2014 elections, saying the president would not survive his tenure in office if elected.

He stated that when Buhari took office, he could have retaliated by ordering the Inspector General of Police to lock down the Ekiti State Assembly, but he chose peace instead.

He also recalled how, instead of resorting to violence, Buhari extended a warm handshake to Fayose during a Council of State meeting at the Presidential Villa.
