Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has opened another can of worm on the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) presidential candidate, Major General Mohammadu Buhari (Rtd) prior to the March 28, presidential election, asking him to seek forgiveness in-lieu of votes from Yoruba people of the South-West, including Edo and Delta States.
According to the governor, Buhari’s cancellation of the Lagos Metroline project in 1985 was the greatest disservice to the Yoruba people in particular, and Nigerians in general. “If Buhari had not cancelled the Metroline project out of vendetta,transportation problems in Lagos would have been solved permanently.The Metroline project would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. But Buhari cancelled it and even went ahead to pay compensation to the French company that handled it. Buhari’s action cost Lagosians over $78 million then,” Fayose said.
