former President Olusegun Obasanjo for allegedly
criticising Jonathan’s administration on
corruption and insecurity.
Fayose, who spoke at a summit in Ife, said that
Obasanjo had no moral justification to criticise
Jonathan’s administration because the former
President’s government was far more corrupt
than the one he criticised.
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, was 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. We
knew when he came out of the prison; we knew
his situation,
