Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described former President
\nOlusegun Obasanjo as the number one enemy of Nigeria, saying; “he is a
\nconfusionist who has lost his status as a statesman and Nigerians should
\nsimply ignore him.”<\/p>\n
The governor, who expressed confidence that President Goodluck Jonathan
\nwill be reelected to complete his eight years term, added that; “Obasanjo
\nis only fighting President Jonathan because he prevented him (Obasanjo)
\nfrom ruling Nigeria from his Ota Farm.”<\/p>\n
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Public
\nCommunications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said
\n“Obasanjo is a cancer that may never get cured in a lifetime.<\/p>\n
“The moment Obasanjo is not the one controlling a house, he will want the
\nhouse pulled down but this time around, he has failed.”<\/p>\n
The governor said; “Obasanjo has always benefitted from the misfortune of
\nothers and he is living with the impression that he is the wisest person
\nin the whole world.<\/p>\n
“When Murtala Mohammed was murdered in 1976, Obasanjo was the beneficiary.<\/p>\n
“In 1993, he said the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential
\nelection, late Chief MKO Abiola was not the Messiah Nigeria needed.
\nInstead of Obasanjo to join the clamour for the actualisation of Abiola’s
\nmandate, Obasanjo was canvassing for an Interim National Government, which
\nhe schemed to head.<\/p>\n
“MKO Abiola died in detention in 1997 and Obasanjo became the beneficiary
\nof his (Abiola) death.<\/p>\n
“Despite the fact that it was the blood of MKO Abiola that Obasanjo
\nmatched on to power, not even a street was named after Abiola throughout
\nObasanjo\u2019s eight years as president.<\/p>\n
“Today, Obasanjo is fighting President Jonathan, the man who has done
\nwhat he failed to do for Abiola, the Yoruba people and Nigerians as a
\nwhole when he was president for eight years, simply because he does not
\nwant anyone to equal his record as Nigeria’s longest serving president.<\/p>\n
“President Jonathan has made it impossible for Obasanjo to run his
\npresidency for him and for this reason, he is supporting Buhari, hoping
\nthat he will be the one to nominate ministers for Buhari if he becomes
\npresident.<\/p>\n
“Abanije eniyan to nba eeyan je kiri, ojo to ba dekun ibaje ni won maa ba
\noun naa je kanle ( He who destroys will ultimately ends up in
\ndestruction).<\/p>\n
“However, I have this bad news for Obasanjo. Nigeria is not his football
\nthat he can kick around as he likes. President Jonathan will be reelected,
\nand Nigeria will be freed from his (Obasanjo) bondage once and for all.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
