Ayo Fayose
FORMER governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose on Tuesday said that former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo took corruption to a higher level during his eight years in office.
The former governor spoke on Tuesday while featuring on “Plus Politics”, a programme on PlusTV Africa, and said he will ensure Obasanjo accounts for all the alleged financial impropriety and other manifestations of corrupt practices perpetrated during his eight-year administration and made to face the full wrath of law.
He said that despite the high level of corruption during the administration, Chief Obasanjo every now and then poses as what he describes as ‘Mr. Right’.
Fayose’s outburst followed Obasanjo’s letter of condolence addressed to Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, in which he said that Buruji Kashamu used instruments of law and politics to evade justice but couldn’t avoid death.
Obasanjo in the letter urged the public to learn a lesson from Kashamu’s death who passed on recently.
“Obasanjo is not a saint when he came out of prison his farm at Ota was in shambles. But, today, it is back to life. Where did the money for resuscitating the once ailing farm come from? It was from the government.
“For the library, all governors at that time contributed 10 million naira each to support Obasanjo by force. The third term is still fresh in our memory. So, baba should stop telling us he is a saint. Shagari was not good enough. He imposed him on Nigerians. He brought Yar’ dua and Jonathan. Nobody is good to Obasanjo except himself.
“Whatever you say about Kashamu. He has paid his own dues, spent his time. No court convicted him and he left and departed the world. Everybody will have an end. Let wait and see how Obasanjo will end,” Fayose stated
