Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, flayed former President Olusegun Obasanjo, when he spoke at a summit in Ife, for allegedly criticizing Jonathan’s administration on corruption and insecurity. Fayose’s attack came just as notable leaders of the Yoruba race (led by the Ooni of Ife) present at the summit endorsed Jonathan for a second term in office. He said:
“I will differ a bit, we need to hit the nail on the head. We are dealing with monsters and we need to treat them as monsters. My name is Ayodele Fayose, the Oshokomole, ‘irunmole to n je jollof rice’.”
Apparently asking Jonathan not to lobby Obasanjo for support, Fayose said:
“Even if you give your blood, your being, your strength and your life to Obasanjo, he would not support you. We know him more than you know him. He will not want a man with independent mind. Mr. President, you have refused to toe the path of unconstitutionality. You have refused to level Borno and other states like he levelled Odi in Bayelsa State.”
“You are taking your time to respect human rights by not committing crime against humanity, he won’t like that. Your Excellency, the more you try to curry Obasanjo’s favour, the more he would continue to disparage you. If you continue to curry his favour, we are not going to curry him. He doesn’t like people that give him respect.”
“Your Excellency, your second term has been concluded in heaven. Fear not! Obasanjo accused government of the day of corruption, but what happened to the N50m he shared to each senator and House of Representatives member during his third term agenda that failed?
“What do you call the donations to Obasanjo Library? That is corruption. Go and check the code of conduct, the form filled by Obasanjo. We knew when he came out of the prison; we knew his situation.”
