Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has chided President Muhammadu Buhari over replacement of the sacked National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Director-General, Ambassador Ayo Oke with Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, a northerner. While Lawal’s replacement came from his home State, Oke’s replacement came from the north. The governor said “President Buhari has consistently demonstrated that he is an ethnic champion, a religious bigot and the number one promoter of disunity in Nigeria. This he has done again with the appointment of yet another northerner as the NIA Director-General. “Like I said before, those politicians, who painted the picture of a changed President Buhari to Nigerians before the 2015 presidential election must have seen now that he (Buhari) can never change from an ethnic champion to a nationalist,” Governor Fayose said.
