Every president has them. Olusegun Obasanjo had Orji Uzor Kalu, then governor of Abia state, perpetually on his case. Goodluck Jonathan had two: Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers). Muhammadu Buhari now has Ayo Fayose of Ekiti.
Fayose, unlike others, started his own opposition long before Buhari became president, going to the extent of placing a controversial advert in the newspapers on the health of the APC presidential candidate. He has continued to criticise the president on several issues: the search on the house of the former NSA, Sambo Dasuki; the salary cut taken by the president; the threat to probe only the administration of Jonathan; and others.
Some have argued that Fayose’s stance is very good for our democracy. The president must not go uncriticised. After all, it is legitimate opposition. He is only exercising his freedom of expression, in any case. But some think he is disrespecting the president, or even playing to the gallery.
What do you think? Let us have your vote – and your comments.

He isn’t talking too much… and mind you, he doesn’t just talk, rather he reacts to press releases and nuances of the Presidency. And none of what he had responded to has been trivial.
He needs to shut up and stop making noise about trivial issues. He needs to face the business of governance in his state and meet the mandate of the people. There are lots of things to be done to better the health, social and economic life of the citizens.
Your comment.. Your comment.. please please, talk too much how. if no one puts Buhari to check, then who will. the south, east and northern governors are all afraid of Buhari. He’s the only one that has decided to speak the truth despite being in opposition party knowing fully well that the present administration can make life difficult for his state. I was not in support of the then advert of Buhari’s ailment, but that doesn’t mean he should not be critised as a seating president. Let’s even face it, Buhari has been making some goofing this days, the trending one, is where he called his party; All Nigeria People’s Congress instead of All Progressives Congress… Somehow for a seating Presido. Keep talking my governor, nothing do you jare.
If you say that Fayose is talking too much,then what do you say about Adam Oshiomhole???
