“I said it on December 1, that President Buhari won’t honour the House of Rep's invitation on the worsened security situation in the country. Truly he didn’t. With a democratically elected President who does not have regard for other arms of govt,- how else do you describe a dictator,” Fayose wrote.

“Before and after 2015, those of you who were opposed to my views on the Buhari’s Presidency then cannot but agree today that Nigerians were misled to have elected him. Methinks they should publicly apologize for misleading Nigerians just like others have been doing,” Fayose wrote.
