Politics ''Everyday Obasanjo goes to kiss the ground in Aso Rock'' -Fayose Mocks Ex-President
Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has fired fresh shots at former
President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Speaking during an interview session with PREMIUM TIMES Fayose said,
''When Obasanjo was there he was behaving the same way Buhari is
behaving today. It was under Obasanjo that the EFCC would lock people
up because the president has power to order arrest, because the
president appoints the IGP, the DG of SSS and others. He has power of
coercion. The fact remains that the constitution allows me the right
even in the face of accusation to enjoy my liberty. Obasanjo is not a
democrat. Today, former Governor (Bola) Tinubu of Lagos would recall
what Obasanjo did. It doesn't matter what our political alignments are
today, history cannot be taken away. So my position has not changed
and it will never change''.
When asked if he had personal issues with Obasanjo, Fayose said, ''No,
but let me ask you a question. When Obasanjo was there for eight
years, Buhari didn't go there? Everyday Obasanjo goes to kiss the
ground in Aso Rock. Everyday Obasanjo has something to go and tell him
there. There are some places elders would have a bit of shame. They
would know that sometimes we should not go to this place. Even if you
look at the pictures taken of his visit you see him bending down. When
he was in government he was busy abusing this Buhari. Obasanjo was
busy insulting Awolowo. One of the things Obasanjo wants to lay claim
to in life is that he is the longest serving Nigerian president. When
you add his military rule to his civilian regime, you understand. So,
Obasanjo doesn't like anybody to excel or exceed his record.
''That's the truth. Obasanjo, who now seems to be the father of
gangsterism or whatever he seems to be today, is the same man that we
used to talk about every other day. Today he is there. The most
painful aspect of it is for Obasanjo to be coming out and be claiming
he is a very honest man. Where did he get the money that was given to
the National Assembly that time? Where did he get the money? Each
senator and member of the House of Representatives collected N50
million each. How about that $2billion Halliburton money? They jailed
some people in America because of Halliburton. Obasanjo knows
everything about Halliburton. Let us put Halliburton to trial and see
what happens. That is why I told you that this fight must not be
selective. If truly we want to fight corruption, let us fight
corruption head on. And the fact remains that men will judge, God will
judge again''.
