I’m sad that you are inviting me to speak on Fayose, says Garba Shehu on live TV

Garba Shehu, senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, on Monday said the presidency does not respond to Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, because “he is desperate for publicity”.

Shehu said this during an interview on Channels TV.

He was reacting to Fayose’s call on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.

But Shehu said the Fayose’s call is misplaced.

“I’m sad that you are inviting me to speak on Governor Fayose. If you follow the presidency, we don’t talk when he talks because he is desperate for publicity,” he said.

“We have a constitution that governs the country and the constitution is very clear about how the country runs. This country has a tripod of authority in terms of distribution of political power.

“You have the parliament which is doing its own work, you have the judiciary which is running, you have the executive and we don’t have any problem with this. So, if anybody has a problem with the constitution, then they should go and change it.”
