…even the Yoruba leaders who promoted and made the Buhari’s Presidency possible have been short-changed. All of them are now in the dark— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) October 23, 2015

For reasons of perception, equity and fairness, don’t we have credible people from the South that can conduct credible elections?— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) October 23, 2015

Or do we assume that the 2019 elections have already been won & lost by the appointment of this Hausa/Fulani prof as INEC chairman?— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) October 23, 2015
