Fayose, has described former
President Olusegun Obasanjo as the
number one enemy of Nigeria, saying:
“he is a confusionist who has lost his
status as a statesman and Nigerians
should simply ignore him.”
The governor, who expressed
confidence that President Goodluck
Jonathan will be re-elected for a
second term, added that: “Obasanjo
is only fighting President Jonathan
because he prevented him
(Obasanjo) from ruling Nigeria
from his Ota Farm.”
In a statement issued on Sunday by
his Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media,
Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose
said, “Obasanjo is a cancer in the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and
Nigeria that may never get cured in
a lifetime.
“The moment Obasanjo is not the
one controlling a house, he will
want the house pulled down but
this time around, he has failed.”
The governor said; “Obasanjo has
always benefitted from the
misfortune of others and he is
living with the impression that he
is the wisest person in the whole
world.
“When Murtala Mohammed was
murdered in 1976, Obasanjo was
the beneficiary.
“In 1993, he said the acclaimed
winner of the June 12, 1993
presidential election, late Chief
MKO Abiola was not the Messiah
Nigeria needed. Instead of
Obasanjo to join the clamour for
the actualisation of Abiola’s
mandate, Obasanjo was canvassing
for an Interim National
Government, which he was
scheming to head.
“MKO Abiola died in detention in
1997 and Obasanjo became the
beneficiary of his (Abiola) death.
“Despite the fact that it was the
blood of MKO Abiola that Obasanjo
matched on to power, not even a
street was named after Abiola
throughout Obasanjo’s eight years
as president.
“Today, Obasanjo is fighting
President Jonathan, the man who
has done what he failed to do for
Abiola, the Yoruba people and
Nigerians as a whole when he was
president for eight years, simply
because he does not want anyone
to equal his record as Nigeria’s
longest serving president.
“President Jonathan has made it
impossible for Obasanjo to run his
presidency for him and for this
reason, he is supporting Buhari,
hoping that he will be the one to
nominate ministers for Buhari if he
becomes president.
“However, I have this bad news for
Obasanjo. Nigeria is not his football
that he can kick around as he likes.
President Jonathan will be re-
elected, and Nigeria will be freed
from his (Obasanjo) bondage once
and for all.”
