Opinion: Fayose’s Letter To Chinese Authority, Opposition Taken Too Far

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose earlier this week wrote Chinese authority to deny President Muhammadu Buhari loan of $2 billion. In the letter that was addressed to President Xi Jinping, he stated that some of the projects for which the loan was being sought were not captured in the 2016 budget sent to President Muhammadu Buhari by the National Assembly for his assent.

It is no longer news that Governor Fayose has always been a vocal voice of the opposition, this he has been doing long before the general election, even to the point of wishing Buhari dead.

But we can't shy away from the fact that opposition must exist so as to be putting the government on its toes but if it is now used to settle personal vendetta, then it will no longer be seen as an healthy opposition.

From time immemorial, developing countries have been signing memorandum of understanding (MoU) with developed countries so as to help with the economy and infrastructural developments.

This is the line that President Buhari has followed by signing bilateral agreements with the Asian Tigers but the ignoble cum primitive letter of this governor is uncalled for and unnecessary.

We should live above all political odds and become pro-Nigeria than blind supporters of political parties. Politics shouldn't divide us, we should all believe in Nigerian project.

Where lies our patriotism if we find pleasure in drawing the hands of our country’s backwards? We should all support any developmental drive that is geared towards the betterment of our great nation.

It is high time we separated politics from policies for Nigeria to move forward.
