The National Committee of Yoruba Youth (NCYY) has described as mischievous, the assertion by Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose accusing the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Buratai, of corruption, among other allegations.
Reacting to the statement credited to the governor during his state of the nation interview on a popular television station, the group, at a news conference addressed by its President, Comrade Odeyemi Oladimeji and other officials in Lagos, described Fayose’s allegations as frivolous and mischievously concocted to distract the Army chief from his focus, which was the war against terrorism and other crimes.
It said: “We challenge Governor Fayose and others as true Yoruba sons to substantiate their allegations against the Chief of Army Staff or shut up.”
