hehehe,......The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has blamed the current spate of corruption in Nigeria on former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.
The fiery governor who used to be in close affinity with the former President but strained relationship after accusing the elder statesman of attempting to impeach him in 2006, described Obasanjo as a laughing stock.
In an interview with the Punch, the governor alleged that Obasanjo bribed lawmakers with N50m each for his failed third term bid.
Part of the interview reads, “That is if he is ready to make up with me.
“I’m not ready to take issues with Obasanjo because if you are talking about corruption today, Obasanjo is the cause. (What about) the N50m Obasanjo (allegedly) gave each lawmaker for his failed third term agenda?
“I was an Obasanjo boy. Obasanjo can’t be celebrated as a saint in
Nigeria. When he talks, I just shake my head. Sometimes, when he goes to
the [presidential] Villa, I wonder if he has shame at all. When he was
[the president], Buhari was not visiting him regularly. Obasanjo is
behaving like somebody who wants to cover [up] something at all cost.
“We should not deceive ourselves. The fact that he is supporting the government of the day tactically is to protect himself. Sometimes, I ask if he is looking for a political appointment. Have you seen Ernest Shonekan and other former presidents visit Buhari like he does? He is becoming a laughing stock. That is the way I see it.”
Meanwhile, the fiery governor had stated that only a mad man will want to join the All Progressives Congress, APC.
