Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, has advised Ghanaians not to vote for
change as they head to the polls to vote for their next president on
December 7th. In a statement released by his media aide, Lere Olayinka,
Fayose said Nigerians voted for change in 2015 and are currently in
hunger, suffering and economic recession. He made the call when he
played host to some men of God from Gahana at the state house in
Ado-Ekiti. The statement in part reads
"By buying into the All Progressives Congress (APC) message of change,
Nigerians are now facing a kind of hunger and suffering never
experienced in the country in the last 30 years and Ghanaians must not
fall into that kind of trap. Ghanaians should not succumb to the deceit
of the opposition party that are calling for a change of government.
Rather, they should return the incumbent President, John Mahama, who has
no doubt done creditably well to deserve a re-election. Ghanaians
should know that the change in Nigeria brought hunger, suffering,
disregard for the rule of law as well as arrest and detention of
Nigerians without trial and be mindful of those preaching change to
them. Most importantly, the situation in Ghana at present is similar to
that of Nigeria.
Like President Mohammadu Buhari, opposition party, New Patriotic Party
(NPP) candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo has contested the presidency two times.
This is the third time he is contesting. He is also 74 year-old. In
Nigeria, change is synonymous with economic recession that is even
getting to the level of depression. When majority of those who brought
the change are now regretting it. Tell your people in Ghana that
Nigerians are already regretting the change they made last year, which
has plunged the country into serious economic hardship. Tell them to
learn from Nigerians and reject those preaching message of change to
them. They should hold on to the government that they have now and
beware of a change that will take their country to economic recession.”
