Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has come out to claim that his agitations here in Nigeria contributed greatly to Buhari's return to the country. 

Fayose stated that everything he said whilst the President was away is true and that he stands by them.

Whilst speaking to the People's Democratic Party leaders at his office on Thursday, the Governor suggested that Buhari needed to resign as he was too tired to carry on.

He said "If not for our efforts Buhari wouldn't have returned now. Buhari is sick and tired and even his physical appearance betrayed this and he needs to go home and rest.

" Today, they have cancelled the Federal Executive Council meeting. You cannot hide the truth forever, it will reveal itself someday. You cannot continue to deceive Nigerians.

" Every word that has come out of my mouth before the President returns, I have no apology for them. President Buhari was indeed in a coma and one of those who visited him said his recovery is a miracle, that shows that he was indeed very sick.

" Let Buhari go back to Daura and rest. Don't send him to an early grave. Buhari is not old enough to be my father, my mother is older than Buhari, he cannot be my father, he can only be my uncle. I am close to 60. I stand by all I have said about the President. We are glad he is back but don't over flog him.

"I am not a sycophant and I stand to speak for Nigeria. Somebody must be able to speak on behalf of the poor masses. This was how they deceived us during the time of Yar'Adua. I am not a hypocrite and I will never be one. This country deserves a very healthy person. The office of the president is not for a sick man. The president is tired and should be allowed to resign and go and rest. " he said details later.

"I have said it severally and without apologies. Everything I said when the President was away, I stand by them. The president actually went into a coma and this was attested to by what one of the governors who visited him when he was abroad said that his recovery was a miracle. When somebody's recovery is a miracle it simply means something very serious happened to the person.

"since the President himself cannot disclose his health status and also the extent of his ailment, it apparently shows that there is so much to hide. Not until civil societies and people like us started making noise. You can't be our president without us knowing what is happening to you. So, for me, the president went to a coma July 6.

Today, they can come back and organise rallies and all that; they attested to the fact the President recovered by a miracle which we are glad about. We are happy that he is back But when you look physically look at the President he is physically. You will see that he is emaciated tired and weak.

"You don't have to be president at all cost when you are tired. You go home. I don't want to talk about 2019? but I want to tell you that Nigeria needs a president that is agile and strong. The job is too much for an individual that does not have what it takes. It is a common saying that health is wealth. Everything is about health. We wish him well and we want him to recover but the President should throw in the towel, resign and go home.
