Gov. Fayose Blasts Obasanjo Over Open Letter To Buhari

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to President Muhammadu Buhari as self-serving and undeserving.

Mr. Fayose, in a statement on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti, the State capital, said Obasanjo and Buhari have both “expired”.

It would be recalled that Obasanjo on Tuesday wrote an open letter to Buhari, noting the deficiencies and loopholes in his administration.

According to him, both Buhari and Obasanjo should go home and rest and leave the political space.

“President Buhari should heed ex-President Obasanjo’s advice and go home and rest. President Buhari has overstayed his welcome. 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.”

He said although the letter written by the former president makes sense, the writer is not deserving of the letter.

Mr. Fayose said, “He (Obasanjo) 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. 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.”
