From WOLE BALOGUN, Ado-Ekiti

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekit State, has faulted the Federal Government’s claims that the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents have been technically defeated and that government was clamping down heavily on perpetrators of the Southern Kaduna killings.

Governor Fayose, who disclosed that he is not just an opposition of the government, but also has chosen the path of revealing the truth to Nigerians against all odds, urged the citizens to look at sequence of events in the country and juxtapose them with his comments and how things are turning out to be.

He made the remarks, on Tuesday, in Ado-Ekiti, while fielding questions from reporters on local and national issues.

The governor, who cited the recent upsurge in insurgency despite claims by the military and the Federal Government that the terrorist group had been defeated, said he had told Nigerians that the FG was being economical with the truth.
