Obasanjo is Nigeria’s number one enemy, he is a cancer – Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described former President
Olusegun Obasanjo as the number one enemy of Nigeria, saying; “he is a
confusionist who has lost his status as a statesman and Nigerians should
simply ignore him.”

The governor, who expressed confidence that President Goodluck Jonathan
will be reelected to complete his eight years term, added that; “Obasanjo
is only fighting President Jonathan because he prevented him (Obasanjo)
from ruling Nigeria from his Ota Farm.”
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said
“Obasanjo is a cancer that may never get cured in a lifetime.

“The moment Obasanjo is not the one controlling a house, he will want the
house pulled down but this time around, he has failed.”

The governor said; “Obasanjo has always benefitted from the misfortune of
others and he is living with the impression that he is the wisest person
in the whole world.

“When Murtala Mohammed was murdered in 1976, Obasanjo was the beneficiary.

“In 1993, he said the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential
election, late Chief MKO Abiola was not the Messiah Nigeria needed.
Instead of Obasanjo to join the clamour for the actualisation of Abiola’s
mandate, Obasanjo was canvassing for an Interim National Government, which
he schemed to head.

“MKO Abiola died in detention in 1997 and Obasanjo became the beneficiary
of his (Abiola) death.

“Despite the fact that it was the blood of MKO Abiola that Obasanjo
matched on to power, not even a street was named after Abiola throughout
Obasanjo’s eight years as president.

“Today, Obasanjo is fighting President Jonathan, the man who has done
what he failed to do for Abiola, the Yoruba people and Nigerians as a
whole when he was president for eight years, simply because he does not
want anyone to equal his record as Nigeria’s longest serving president.

“President Jonathan has made it impossible for Obasanjo to run his
presidency for him and for this reason, he is supporting Buhari, hoping
that he will be the one to nominate ministers for Buhari if he becomes
president.

“Abanije eniyan to nba eeyan je kiri, ojo to ba dekun ibaje ni won maa ba
oun naa je kanle ( He who destroys will ultimately ends up in
destruction).

“However, I have this bad news for Obasanjo. Nigeria is not his football
that he can kick around as he likes. President Jonathan will be reelected,
and Nigeria will be freed from his (Obasanjo) bondage once and for all.”
