Governor Ayodele Fayose |
The ekiti state Governor, Ayodele fayose, has blamed the former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, of the current corruption that has egulfed Nigeria and wonders if he has any shame.
While many may recall that the duo once had a father-son relation when Obasanjo was still president of Nigeria, the relationship has not only turned sour but a fiery one after accusing the elder statesman of attempting to impeach him in 2006.
In an interview with the punch, fayose said that Obasanjo bribed lawmakers with 50 million naira each for his failed third term bid. He also said he was not ready to make up with the former president except the latter was ready to make the move first. The Governor said
"That is if he is ready to make up with me. i am not ready to take issues with obasanjo because if you are talking about corruption today, obasanjo is the cause. What about the 50 million Naira Obasanjo gave each law maker for his failed third term agenda? I was an Obasanjo boy".

"Obasanjo can't be celebrated as a saint in nigeria. When he talks, i just shake my head. Sometimes, when he goes to the presidential villa, i wonder if he has shame at all."
"When he was the president, Buhari was not visiting him regularly. Obasanjo is behaving like somebody who wants to cover up something at all cost. I want the former president to know this nation does not belong to one man."
"Most of the problems in this country were caused by Obasanjo.The impeachment of a governor by four lawmakers was done during Obasanjo time as a president . Tell me where the moral is. We should not deceive ourselves.The fact that he is supporting the government of the day tactically is to protect himself. Sometimes, I ask if he is looking for a political appointment. Have you seen Ernest Shonekan and other former president visit Buhari like he does? He is becoming a laughing stock. That is the way i see it."
