Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the President Buhari as a sectional leader. He said the appointment of another northerner, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu as the Chairman the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is a vindication of his position that “President Mohammadu Buhari is a sectional leader, who only sees good in Hausa/Fulani people and not the people of Nigeria.Reacting to the appointment of Prof Yakubu as the new INEC chairman, Governor Fayose said, in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka that even the Yoruba leaders who promoted and made the Buhari’s Presidency possible had been short-changed. The governor asked; “Shouldn’t he have considered someone from either South-East, South-South or South-West as Chairman of the Electoral Commission now that we have a President from the North?
Governor Fayose said; “When Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was the President, he never appointed a Yoruba man as INEC chairman. Dr Goodluck Jonathan too did not appoint an Ijaw man as INEC Chairman. “Former President Shehu Shagari too did not appoint a Hausa man like himself as Chairman of the Federal Electoral Commission (FEDECO). Rather, he appointed late Justice Victor Ovie Whisky.
