Hehehe...Stop attacking Jonathan, your government was far more corrupt – Fayose tells Obasanjo

The Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, has lambasted former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his continuous verbal attacks on President Jonathan’s administration over corruption and insecurity.
Speaking at a summit in Ife, Fayose said that Obasanjo had no moral justification to criticise Jonathan’s administration because the former President’s government was far more corrupt than that of Jonathan.
The attack from Fayose came just as notable leaders of the Yoruba race present at the summit endorsed Jonathan for a second term in office.

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, led notable traditional rulers from many Yoruba towns, majority of who are from Ekiti State to the summit.
The matriarch of Awolowo family, Chief H.I.D Awolowo, represented at the summit by her daughter, Mrs. Tola Oyediran. Fayose, who spoke after all the Yoruba leaders had spoken, stated that he would not toe the line of Yoruba leaders who spoke before him.
He said, “I will differ a bit, we need to hit the nail on the head. We are dealing with monsters and we need to treat them as monsters. My name is Ayodele Fayose, the Oshokomole, ‘irunmole to n je jollof rice’.”
Apparently asking Jonathan not to lobby Obasanjo for support, Fayose said, “Even if you give your blood, your being, your strength and your life to Obasanjo, he would not support you.

“We know him more than you know him. He will not want a man with independent mind.
“Mr. President, you have refused to toe the path of unconstitutionality. You have refused to level Borno and other states like he levelled Odi in Bayelsa State.
“You are taking your time to respect human rights by not committing crime against humanity, he won’t like that.
“Your Excellency, the more you try to curry Obasanjo’s favour, the more he would continue to disparage you. If you continue to curry his favour, we are not going to curry him. He doesn’t like people that give him respect.

“Your Excellency, your second term has been concluded in heaven. Fear not! Obasanjo accused government of the day of corruption, but what happened to the N50m he shared to each senator and House of Representatives member during his third term agenda that failed?

“What do you call the donations to Obasanjo Library? That is corruption. Go and check the code of conduct, the form filled by Obasanjo,” he added.
