Obasanjo is an Incurable Cancer – Gov. Fayose

Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose is unhappy with former president Olusegun Obasanjo‘s recent controversial remarks about President Goodluck Jonathan.

In a statement released yes­terday by Fayose’s Special As­sistant on Public Commu­nications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose described Obasanjo as an incurable cancer Nigeria is plagued by.

Here is the statement, as reported by The Sun:

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 benefited 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, the 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 marched 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.
