A Nigerian governor warned on Tuesday that Africa’s most populous country was drifting towards a state of anarchy under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. Mr. Ayodele Fayose, an opposition governor from the Southwestern state of Ekiti called on the international community “to intervene and rescue the country from turning to a war zone, where mass killings are a usual occurrence”. Governor Fayose alleged that under the government of President Buhari, the Nigerian constitution was “on suspension”. “When did Nigeria degenerate to the level that people can no longer worship peacefully in their churches or go to their farms? They are behaving as if the constitution of the country is already suspended and this should worry lovers of democracy in Nigeria.
