He described them as ungrateful elements who instead of thanking President Buhari and All Progressive Congress(APC), they are busy carrying propaganda about. “I am speaking on behalf of my colleagues. We are not happy with President Buhari for allowing PDP members who have not appreciated him for having them in office. Why are they not thanking him for keeping PDP in office at the expense of APC.

Saint Okon made the above comment at the venue of a press release by BFON in Abuja over the allegations by Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State.

BFON in their submission are asking Ayo Fayose to show them the location of the Abuja estate so that they will go with other Nigerian s to occupy it. They also said that Aisha Buhari in the Jefferson case is a different person altogether.
At the conclusion of the release, the group made the following resolutions; 1, We challenge Mr. Fayose to come up with facts to further buttress his allegations against President Buhari and his wife, on any perceived wrong doings that Mr. President has violated his oath of office etc.; 2, That Mr. Fayose should, without delay convince Nigerians, including his teeming supporters, that the picture widely circulated is that of the wife of Mr. President, Hajia Aisha Buahri…; 3, That the verdict delivered in 2009, in America in regard to the former congress man, William Jefferson had in any way indicted the wife of the President, Hajia Aisha Buhari…
