Mr. Ayodele Fayose, Governor of Ekiti State celebrated his 57th birthday on Wednesday and said his wish was that President Muhammadu Buhari had congratulated him on his birthday.<\/p>\n
Governor Fayose, who is the chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum, said one of his greatest wishes was to have woken up on his 57th birthday to receive a congratulatory message from President Buhari or read one in the media.<\/p>\n
Fayose said: \u201cMy wishes on my 57th birthday as Ayo Fayose are many but one of them, which will interest you, is that I wish \u200ePresident Buhari\u2019s congratulatory call would have woken me up today as one of the governors in the country. As a father of the nation and as a leading \u200eopposition figures in the country; a fearless youngman who believes that things should be done rightly, to show himself as a father of all, preaching that we must extend love to everybody not only those in his political party.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fayose added that \u201cthe president would have made a difference if he had extended such gesture to others beyond his political party. Such a congratulatory message should have been conveyed through his Minister of Information. I would have loved to either wake up receiving a congratulatory call from him or read it in the papers. But since it is not coming, it is not a big deal to me and I take no offence on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he was \u201cnot Buhari\u2019s enemy,\u201d noting that \u201copposition is the strength of democracy; it ensures that the electorates get value for their votes.<\/p>\n
Those who criticise your government are not your enemies, they are catalysts to your growth as a government.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fayose who said he was celebrating his birthday with artisans, Okada riders, market women and men and masses on the streets, said: \u201cFor somebody like me, loved by Nigerians, especially the ordinary man on the streets who cheer me anytime they see me on the streets, my birthday will be celebrated with the common man on the street.<\/p>\n
