The Minister of Works, Prince Adedayo Adeyeye has lambasted Rtd. Gen. Muhammad Buhari, referring to him as the number one enemy of the South-West.

According to Punch, Adeyeye in a statement yesterday advised all the ‘true sons and daughters of Oduduwa’ to reject the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress. “Buhari must be rejected by all true sons and daughters of Oduduwa.”

Adeyeye went ahead to explain how Buhari caused an irresolvable damage to  Yoruba land especially Lagos State in particular. Adeyeye talked about how the cancellation of the Lagos Metroline project and the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s free education programme by the then Buhari’s government messed up the whole Yoruba land totally.

Challenging Buhari to mention any tangible project he did to the Yorubas while in power as the Head of State and as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund. “Buhari did not only cancel the Metroline project, he went ahead to pay what was enough to complete the project as compensation to the French company that handled the project.“The idea of developing rapid transit in Lagos dated from the 1980s with the Lagos Metroline network conceived by the Alhaji Lateef Jakande during the Second Republic.

“The Metroline project was scrapped in 1985 by Buhari at a loss of over $78m to the Lagos tax payers. Information on the Metroline Project is on Wikipedia for everyone to see. “If Buhari had not cancelled that project out of hatred for the Yoruba people, transportation in Lagos would have been better than it is now and one can begin to imagine the number of lives and investments that had been lost to Buhari’s wickedness.

“Everything that Awolowo did for us in Yorubaland, Buhari undone. Buhari was even planning to merge the University of Ibadan with Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife when he was removed. “He stopped free education, thereby preventing many of our youths from going to school. Many of the youths that were victims of Buhari’s wickedness are now being begged by the APC to vote for the same man who cut short their bright future.

“Unlike Buhari, President Goodluck Jonathan has demonstrated his love for the Yoruba people by giving us a university in Ekiti, constructing the abandoned Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; among other roads; approval for the construction of two seaports in Lagos and most importantly, by resuscitating rail transportation,” Adeyeye said.


However, the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Ekiti, Taiwo Olatunbosun, countered Adeyeye’s statement making it known that Buhari was not an enemy of the Yorubas. He also beckoned on Adeyeye to list the benefits he had brought to Ekiti since his appointment as a minister.

“Buhari has contributed more to the development of the nation. Most of the federal roads in Ekiti, including Ondo, were duly tarred with high grade materials by the Petroleum Trust Fund under Buhari as the chairman. “To show our respect for Awolowo, our Vice Presidential candidate, Prof. Yemi Osibajo, is a grand son in-law to the late sage.

“Adeyeye should tell us which of the federal projects we are enjoying from Jonathan. Even he (Adeyeye) as the minister of works, many federal roads were awarded without Ekiti getting any.“He should tell us what Ekiti would benefit from him as the Minister of State for Works and not tell us who to vote for because he is not qualified to speak on behalf of Ekiti people.”
