Last October, she told InStyle mag of her husband:

Fayose Slams President Buhari, Says Your Trip To US Is The Joke Of The Year
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has called on well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop what he described as his needless foreign trips.
Fayose described Buhari’s trip to the United States of America on Wednesday for the 4th Nuclear Security Summit, where he said Nigerians were suffering at home, as “joke of the year”.
The governor said: “It remains a mystery what President Buhari that met power generation at 6,000MW and could not manage it such that power generation crumbled to 0MW yesterday, will contribute to the Nuclear Energy Summit in America.”
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said “It is shameful that while President Buhari was far away in the United States of America, attending a summit that does not have any bearing on Nigeria and its people, an unprecedented happened – power generation stopped completely for over three hours!”
He said the sufferings of Nigerians deserved the attention of the President instead of junketing around the world, wasting the country’s scarce foreign exchange.
Fayose alleged that over $50 million must have been spent on the President’s frequent foreign trips, adding that Nigerians should ask Buhari whether his trip to the United States of America to attend the Nuclear Energy Summit will bring the lingering fuel scarcity being experienced in the country to an end.
He said: “Nigerians are suffering. Petrol has become so scarce that our people now sleep in petrol stations to buy fuel at N200 per litre while the president who should alleviate their sufferings is in the USA, attending a summit that he won’t even understand whatever that is discussed there.
“This is not acceptable. Mr President should stay at home and see to it that at least, power generation returns to 6,000MW that he met it if he cannot add to it.
“Mr President should stay at home and bring this fuel scarcity that has paralysed almost all activities in the country to an end.
“Nigerians are saying their president should stay at home and bring to an end the killings, raping of women and destruction of farmlands by Fulani herdsmen.
“Most importantly, the President should listen more to those of us who criticise him instead of those hailing every of his wrong steps either because of what they intend to gain or for fear of persecution.”
Police Arrest Killer Of 9-Year-Old Girl 6 Years After She Was Killed…
Six years after 9-year-old Aminat Lateef, was gruesomely murdered by a gang of hoodlums, at Tiaminu Street, off Ereko, in Idi-Oro area of Mushin, Lagos State, succour seems to have come the way of the family, as operatives at the D9 Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, during the week, apprehended a leader of the gang, Wasiu Akinade, a.k.a. Oloriesho.
The suspect was arrested last Tuesday, when the SCID operatives trailed him to his hideout at Tollgate area of Mushin. It was gathered that a shootout ensued between the operatives and some hoodlums who attempted to prevent the police from arresting the suspect.
Police sources disclosed that Oloriesho has been on the police wanted list for a long time following several gang-related killings and other violent crimes around Mushin and its environ for a long time. A source at the SCID, who spoke with Saturday Vanguard on the condition of anonymity, stated that since 2009, Oloriesho has it signatures in almost all gang-related killings within Mushin, Fadeyi, Shomolu, Bariga and Ilupeju areas of Lagos State.
The source explained that Oloriesho and his gang were recruited in 2009 by a faction of National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, who were locked in a battle of supremacy to wage a bloody war against their opponents. The police source highlighted that Oloriesho and his gang carried out several killings around Tollgate, Idi-Oro, New Balogun, Ogunjobi and Railway areas of Mushin before his arrest. The source added that five members of his gang were arrested by the SCID operatives in January 2016 and an AK47 belonging to the police which was snatched from a policeman murdered at Daleko area of Isolo, Lagos, was recovered from the suspects and the suspects provided intelligence that aided the police in apprehending Oloriesho.
According to the source, Oloriesho and his gang were alleged to have taken part in the killing of the nephew of former Inspector General of Police, Sunday Ehindero, Niyi, in 2012.
It was alleged that Oloriesho and his boys attacked some residents of Bada Street, who weren’t loyal to them and they had a clash with some soldiers who were responding to a distress call within the area. “Oloriesho has been on our file for a long time and we have been working very hard to arrest him but we made our first breakthrough last January when we apprehended five members of his gang and they gave us information on how to apprehend him and since we made that arrest, Mushin has been relatively peaceful."
There have been no news of violent clashes or killings within that area and to make sure we achieve a lasting result, we went all out for Oloriesho because he is the leader of the gang. Before his arrest, we had got several information about him, detailing how he led his gang to carry out several killings against persons that are believed to be his opponents. They have also killed innocent people in the process.
“One of such killings was in 2011, a few months after they killed 9-year-old Aminat. They also attacked and killed one Akeem Adeleye, alias Chiroke. He was attacked close to his house in Idi-Oro and killed. One year after, while his friends were observing his remembrance, Oloriesho and his boys stormed the place, opened fire into the crowd and had a shootout with some soldiers who were around that area. At the end, they killed one Niyi Ehidero, who is a nephew to the former IGP."
In 2013, we had report that he killed one Morufu Bakare at Olosha Bus stop in Mushin. He was reported to have shot Bakare on the face. “In 2014, we received reports that he carried out two killings; one in January, while the other in December. In January 2014, we learnt that he led his boys and they shot one Segun Oladunjoye to death around Toll gate area Mushin. We were informed that Segun was formerly part of his gang and he switched camp after he was released from prison. We were told that Oloriesho killed him because he felt Segun betrayed him.
In December 2014, he was also alleged to have killed one Lekan Akinshola at Oyegbola Street, Ilupeju, Lagos. Based on these reports, we went after him and members of his gang and the result is what you are seeing now.”
Jubilation in Mushin over arrest Last Wednesday when Crime Guard visited Mushin following news of Oloriesho’s arrest, residents were seen in different areas celebrating his arrest. A resident, James Balogun, told Crime Guard that with Oloriesho’s arrest, Mushin will be peaceful. He said Oloriesho had been enjoying protection from some influential politicians for a long time.
“He also worked for politicians and they had been the ones shading him from arrest”, Balogun Stated. “Last January, he was arrested by the police and taken to the Area D Command, Musihn, but less than four hours after his arrest, an influential politician came and bailed him. We learnt that the police at the area command took N500,000 bribe and they released him, but we are grateful that policemen from the SCID has moved in and arrested him.”
When Crime Guard visited Tiaminu Street, where Aminat was killed, her father, Saheed Lateef, who was filled with joy when he spoke with Crime Guard, said he had waited for six years for justice, and was grateful to God that the police had gone after the killers of his daughter. “I have waited for six years for this day and I am grateful to God that I am alive to see my daughter’s killers pay for their crimes. I thought there was no law in this country because this people who killed my daughter were walking the streets of Mushin as free men and each time I saw them, I wept and begged God to give justice to my poor child whose life was cut short prematurely. I can’t fight them because they are usually armed.”
Narrating how his child was murdered, Saheed said, “Aminat was a Primary 3 pupil of Ola Emma Nursery and Primary school, Mushin; she was shot dead at about 7.35 p.m on Tuesday, December 9, 2010, which was the eve of her birthday. I had sent her to buy food when these hoodlums saw and sprayed bullets on her. I was told by people who witnessed it that Aminat on sighting the hoodlums, who were on a revenge mission, hid behind a car, but the car could not protect her and the hoodlums sprayed the car with bullets and killed her instantly.”
Saheed who described the late Aminat as his precious first daughter said: “She was very humble and respectful. All I am asking from the government is to allow justice to prevail in this matter. I want the killers of my precious daughter to be brought to book.”

Recruitment of 10,000 Policemen will address Unemployment – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari said the recruitment of 10,000 policemen would address the challenge of youth unemployment in the country.
The president made the disclosure at a ceremonial parade to mark the 2016 Police Week in Abuja on Friday.
Buhari, who was represented by the Minister of Interior, retired Lt.-Gen.Abdulrahman Dambazau said the initiative would also address the manpower gap in the police.
He advised the management of the police force to put national interest in mind in the recruitment in line with the reform agenda of the Ministry of Interior.
“In carrying out this exercise, I expect the Nigeria Police to put national interest in the foremost,” he said.
Buhari said that community policing had become more imperative considering the current security challenges in the country.
He said that it was in view of this that his administration had rested the internal security of the country on enhanced budget, addressing social factors among others.
The president said that government had funded the procurement of over 1,000 patrol vehicles and other logistics to strengthen operational capacity of the police.
He said that in order to address the challenge of highly organised crime, government had strengthened the technical intelligence capacity of the police.
“No nation thrives without security, and neither can a nation lay claim to security without an efficient policing service.
“This administration shall continue to support initiatives that will guarantee the reform and modernisation of the Nigeria Police.
“I must clearly recognise that the nation expects so much from the police,” he said.
He reassured Nigerians of government’s determination to bequeath a reformed, re-oriented, well trained, well equipped and highly motivated police.
Buhari said that the dream could only be attained with the support of the citizens.
Earlier, the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase said that with the support of the citizens, the police was determined to fight criminals who continued to threaten the peace and security of the nation.
He commended officers, who in spite of the challenges had continued to display loyalty and zeal to confront internal insurgency.
“We recognise the sacrifice of officers and men who sweat it out under the scorching sun, the drizzling rains and the cold nights to stay alert in order to ensure the safety and security.
He said that the Police Week was aimed at restoring the lost glory of the Force.
“In essence, the Police Week is a celebration of our history as well as an opportunity for the Force to reconnect with the people for a more effective policing,” he said.
In attendance were representatives of the Chief of Defence Staff, service chiefs, diplomats, traditional rulers, among others. (NAN)
