As the nation gets ready for the February general
elections, Ayodele Fayose, the governor of Ekiti state has warned
Nigerians to beware of the antics of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Fayose, in a statement released in Ado-Ekiti yesterday said Obasanjo’s romance with the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) despite claiming to be a leader of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) should be watched, Daily Sun reports.
The governor said: “Nigerians should be wary of Obasanjo’s banana peels. He was the one who put forward Umar Yar ‘Adua as the president knowing the man’s state of health and the man died in office.
“He was the one who said President Goodluck Jonathan was the best for Nigeria and that without him there would be no Nigeria.
“The question people should ask former President Obasanjo is what has gone wrong between now and then? He is against President Jonathan because the president refused to be pocketed by him and any Nigerian leader who wants to succeed will not allow that.
According to him, the North deserved to present a better candidate than the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.
“In the North, there are so many qualified, brilliant and credible people who can rule the country well. Why is Obasanjo going after an old horse that may collapse midway? Nigerians should know the state of health of Buhari. His age and health cannot stand the rigours of the office. Nigerians deserve to know the health status of Buhari,” he said.
Describing the relationship between Obasanjo and Bola Tinubu, APC national leader, Fayose said: “The strange love between Obasanjo and Tinubu is like a lion and a goat living together in the same house.”
He therefore advised Nigerians not to trust Obasanjo in his latest game.
The Ekiti governor had earlier lambasted Obasanjo, saying he does not represent the voice of the Yoruba people.
Obasanjo has been criticising Jonathan for sometime now. A peace meeting was held between the duo but it was said to have ended in a fiasco.
