The governor has said his continuous criticism of Buhari is simply because of his confidence that no democracy lasts without a virile opposition.
He said: "It is Ekiti first before Nigeria. Every politics is local, every governance starts from the home. From the home, we graduate to the community, then to the local government., then to the state and to the federal."
"As a people, we have peculiarities, and we must identify them instead of jamborees. The reason why most leaders of this country failed in the fight against corruption since 1999 is that they are corrupt themselves."
Fayose noted that the first step that should be taken in eradicating the corruption is not to fight corruption with a political face.
"If a leader is leading a country to fight corruption, he must start from his own base. He must be ready and willing to put his home right. Leaders can only lead right by example, not by propaganda. I take exception.
Ekiti state governor emphasized: "I HATE CORRUPTION. I DON'T DO THINGS BECAUSE OF LIP-SERVICE, I AM A BLUNT NIGERIAN. I have declared my asset long time ago, I have submitted all the necessary papers, I know the procedure. On asset declaration, put it inside paper or not, it is a public document; there is FOI bill, it is public already. If I need the asset declaration of anyone, I know the proper procedure to get it.
''I commended the president on effort on Boko Haram. In the last four weeks, it has been positive and there is hope. But I urge the president not to politicise corruption. The law has its process; there are agencies that take care of corruption. We should allow them do their duty without preempting them''.
"Let everyone start the fight against corruption from the confines of his home. If every home is right, then the country will be right. If we are ready to fight corruption, then let's sit tight about it and do away with politics.
"Somebody must have a different view from all these views. I have a different view in Nigeria, and I'm not ready to surrender that will. The Bible says 'the righteous will be as bold as a lion'. God be with you. I did not put myself here, you all put me here. I am a man of peace. Let no man misquote me."
