‘OBJ Is A Cancer That May Never Get Cured’ – Fayose Is Still On The Matter

Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose, has described former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has a terminal disease that “may never be cured in a lifetime”.

Fayose says Obasanjo is at loggerheads with President Goodluck Jonathan because he prevented him from controlling the nation from his farm in Ota, Ogun State.

In a statement issued on Sunday, February 15, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the Governor described Obasanjo as always being in a position to benefit from the ‘misfortune of others’.

He said: “Obasanjo is a cancer that may never get cured in a lifetime. The moment Obasanjo is not the one controlling a house, he will want the house pulled down but this time around, he has failed. Obasanjo has always benefitted from the misfortune of others and he is living with the impression that he is the wisest person in the whole world.”

“When Murtala Mohammed was murdered in 1976, Obasanjo was the beneficiary. In 1993, he said the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, late Chief MKO Abiola was not the messiah Nigeria needed. Instead of Obasanjo to join the clamour for the actualisation of Abiola’s mandate, Obasanjo was canvassing for an Interim National Government, which he schemed to head.”

“MKO Abiola died in detention in 1997 and Obasanjo became the beneficiary of his (Abiola) death. Despite the fact that it was the blood of MKO Abiola that Obasanjo matched on to power, not even a street was named after Abiola throughout Obasanjo’s eight years as president.”

“Today, Obasanjo is fighting President Jonathan, the man who has done what he failed to do for Abiola, the Yoruba people and Nigerians as a whole when he was president for eight years, simply because he does not want anyone to equal his record as Nigeria’s longest serving president.”

“President Jonathan has made it impossible for Obasanjo to run his presidency for him and for this reason, he is supporting Buhari, hoping that he will be the one to nominate ministers for Buhari if he becomes president.”
