You are Nigeria’s number one enemy - Fayose blasts Obasanjo

Ayodele Fayose, the Ekiti State governor 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 reelected to complete his eight
year-term, added: “Obasanjo is only fighting President
Jonathan because he prevented him (Obasanjo) from ruling
Nigeria from his Ota Farm.”
In a statement issued yesterday by his Special Assistant
on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,
Governor Fayose said: “Obasanjo is a cancer 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.
“Obasanjo has always benefited 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 schemed to head.
“MKO Abiola died in detention in 1998 and Obasanjo
became the beneficiary of his (Abiola) death. Despite the
fact that it was the blood of MKO Abiola that Obasanjo
marched 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 reelected and Nigeria will be freed from
Obasanjo’s bondage once and for all.”
