Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has
launched yet another verbal attack on former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, describing him
as the father of corruption in Africa.

Fayose warned Obasanjo to stop deceiving
the world with his anti-corruption sermons.

Governor Fayose, was reacting to a recent
comment attributed to Obasanjo when he said
African leaders should ensure that treasury
looters are exposed.

He also warned former Attorney-General of
the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice
Mohammed Adoke to stop mentioning his
name in the controversial $1.09 billion
Malabu Oil deal.

He said the former President should rather
explain to Nigerians the source of his
stupendous wealth and stop parading himself
as a saint.

In a statement issued on Thursday, by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor
Fayose said it smacked of the highest level of
hypocrisy for Obasanjo to be preaching
against corruption when he was currenting
sitting on stolen wealth.

He said, “the former president is the father
of corruption in Nigeria, who sits on stolen
wealth.

He lacks moral rights to accuse
anyone of corruption and I challenge him to
explain to Nigerians the source of his
stupendous wealth.”

Fayose noted that the former President must
come out clean on his roles in the
controversial $1.09 billion Malabu Oil deal,

instead of warning former Attorney-General
of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of
Justice Mohammed Adoke to stop mentioning
his name in the deal.

“It is on record that the out-of-court
settlement on the controversial Malabu Oil
Block was initiated in 2006 during Obasanjo’s
administration”, he said.
Governor Fayose, who maintained that
Obasanjo’s accusing anyone of corruption
was like “Oyenusi accusing Shina Rambo of
armed robbery”, added that “We saw how
Obasanjo was when he became president and
the magnitude of both direct and indirect
investments that he has now.

“Can he in all honesty tell Nigerians that he
acquired his wealth through legitimate
means?”

Describing Obasanjo as the fathers of
corruption in the present day Nigeria, he
said:

“Even the National Assembly affirmed
him (Obasanjo) as the grandfather of
corruption in Nigeria and it is on record that
it was this same Obasanjo, who is always
claiming holier than thou that introduced
politics of ghana-must-go bags to the National
Assembly.

“Has Obasanjo forgotten how many billions of
naira was deployed to lobby National
Assembly members to support his third term
agenda?”

“Has he forgotten so soon that it was during
his tenure that sacks of money were
displayed on the floor of the House of
Representatives, as bribe money given to
some Reps members to impeach the then
Speaker, Ghali N’abba?

While reiterating his
demand that the former President should
refund with interest, the N10 million that he
was forced alongside other governors to
donate to his Presidential Library project,
Governor Fayose said

“Someone like Obasanjo, who used his
position as President to extort money from
governors, businessmen and contractors to
build his presidential library lacked more
rights to accuse anyone of corruption.”

He said “other Nigerians who left offices as
President are still relevant to their people,
but can the same be said about Obasanjo?

Was he useful to the Yoruba race as President
and now as former President?

The bad state
that he left major roads linking the Southwest
to other zones in Nigeria, especially the
Lagos-Ibadan expressway remains a pointer
to this.

Yet, he goes about postulating as if he
is the only honest Nigerians who can make
things right in the country.”

confirmed

Honestly I stand with Fayose on this one

Oshokomole is the greatest,..
















West of the niger

...

Good I concur, obasanjo is the real definition of corruption.

I like this man, he doesn't follow the crowd. He stands alone, meaning he can stand for the truth.
He is indeed a lion.
I also wondered why the Obasanjo's presidential library was launched again this year. After the previous launch during the Obasanjo regime.
All these piliticians are highly corrupt.
I respect Fayose he may not be perfect but he is a sincere crusader, unlike Fani Kayode, who tells more lies than truth.
