Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has attacked former
President Olusegun Obasanjo over his letter to President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Obasanjo had on Tuesday in a special press statement titled, ‘The
Way Out: A clarion call for the coalition for Nigeria Movement advised
Buhari not to seek a second term.
Fayose described Obasanjo’s letter as “belated and self-serving.”
According to a press statement by his Chief Press Secretary issued in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday,
Fayose said, ” It is a face-saving letter after Obasanjo, who led the
cabals that imposed Buhari, had seen that Nigerians have turned back
from following the president.
“Damning as the Obasanjo letter was and although it makes some sense, the writer is not deserving of the letter.
“Obasanjo is not the right person to write that letter.
“He was the leader of those who deceived Nigerians and lied to the international community to support Buhari.
“Nigerians have already made up their minds to show Buhari the exit next year with or without Obasanjo’s self-serving letter
“So Obasanjo should not take the credit. He should not reap where he has not sown.
“Nevertheless, President Buhari should heed ex-President Obasanjo’s advice and go home and rest.
“President Buhari has overstayed his welcome”, he added
“Obasanjo himself should heed his own advice to Buhari by also
going home to rest. Both Obasanjo and Buhari are analogue in this
digital age and have expired.
“We have been hearing of Obasanjo since we were in the primary school.
“It is time for him to vacate the public political space. When Nigerians hear him speak nowadays, they hiss.”
