Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has joined other well wishers sending messages of felicitations to President Muhammadu Buhari on his 75th birthday.
Buhari birthday comes up on Sunday.
But unlike others, the Governor’s congratulatory message was with a request: The President should not give in to the deluge of requests that he should contest for second term of office in 2019!
The birthday message in which Fayose also wished Buhari ‘a long and healthy life’ reads: “This is to congratulate Mr President as he clocks 75.
“I want to thank God for his life and pray for good health in the service of our nation and that he continues to age with grace. I wish him the best.
“He represents us all and we owe him prayers and cooperation where necessary, just as we also need to criticise him too where necessary,” he said.
While telling the President not to forget about seeking a second term in office, the Governor said, “We need somebody that is experienced and agile. He shouldn’t contest and the decision is his and his party, he said.
“I am not a fan of an old man and this is not personal and peculiar to President Buhari. We need an agile president come 2019.
