Speak with me to prove you are healthy, Fayose tells Buhari

The Ekiti State Governor , Ayodele Fayose , has advised President Muhammadu Buhari , to speak with him to prove he is hale and hearty instead of shopping for outsiders to speak with .
Fayose said Nigerians would be more convinced if the president spoke with him .
The governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary , Idowu Adelusi , noted that Buhari had reportedly in one week spoken with the king of Morocco and the president of the African Union.
Fayose said , “ If their problem is that they are looking for a credible person who can help them convince Nigerians that all is well with our President , I ’ m their best bet .
“ Let the president speak with me . If I tell Nigerians that the president spoke with me , Nigerians will believe .
“ Since they are eager for the president to speak to people; believing in this way to convince Nigerians that their President is hale and hearty, let president Buhari talk to me. I can be reached on 08035024994. I am credible and Nigerians will believe me ”, he said .
According to him , Nigerians are getting suspicious of all the purported visits to Buhari in London as well as his orchestrated telephone conversations with international figures who Nigerians cannot trust to give a true and unbiased report about the president ’ s state of health .
He added , “ They said he spoke to President Donald Trump ; despite the hype , Nigerians were skeptical. Then they said he spoke to the king of Morocco ; again , Nigerians were suspicious. Before we recovered from that , it is now the AU president that they said President Buhari spoke to .
“ A president that can speak with outsiders should be able to whisper or wave to his own people . The people gave him the very important platform of President on which he stands today and , therefore , Presidential aides should stop giving the unhelpful impression that Buhari has no respect for the Nigerian electorate. ”
