The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has told former President Olusegun Obasanjo to desist from accusing people of corruption in Nigeria.

Fayose said it was hypocritical of the former president to claim that some church leaders in the country were not only encouraging corruption but also celebrating people with questionable sources of wealth.



Obasanjo made the accusation in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Saturday, at the 2017 Convention Lecture of Victory Life Bible Church International while speaking on the theme, “The role of the church in the fight against corruption in Nigeria.”

In a statement issued, on Sunday, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said that if anyone must accuse the church in Nigeria of promoting corruption, that person should not be Obasanjo, adding that the former president presided over the most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria.

“Where did Obasanjo get the stupendous wealth he is parading since he was a pauper before he became president? Where did he get the trillions of naira that he deployed to his failed third term bid?

“How can Obasanjo, under whose tenure, Nigeria witnessed the Halliburton scandal be sermonising about corruption?”

Fayose restated that it was during Obasanjo’s reign as president that governors were made to donate N10m each to the building of his library

“Isn’t compelling state governors to make donations to the personal project of a serving president part of corruption?,” Fayose queried.

Maintaining that Obasanjo was the father of corruption in the present day Nigeria, Fayose asked, “Who introduced the politics of ‘Ghana-must-go’ bags to the National Assembly?

“Who was the president when 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?

“Under whose administration was the out-of-court settlement in the controversial $1.09bn Malabu oil block initiated in 2006?”

greatgod2012:




Are you saying Fayose shouldn't have said this because OBJ is older than him or because they're both of the same tribe

Either one that is your reason, you're being biased, sentimental and economical with the truth!

Fayose is right about OBJ, truth must always be said no matter whose ox is gored!

Fayose always react to personalities and not issues. Goodluck!

BeardedMeat:
Sarrki, is there any lie what Fayose said? You are really the butt of zombies my brother/sister, a lost soul.

sarrki:


Don't get it wrong my brother

Fayose attacks personality rather than facing issues

He also lacks the moral right to talk on corruption

Even if he's right

BeardedMeat:
You are not making sense. Why won't he talk? Does Buhary have the moral right to fight corruption?

I hate Buhary with a passion!!! I started hating him passionately the day he said a fight against boko haram was a fight against the north! What an unpatriotic and treasonable statement coming from a supposed elder statesman simply because he is looking for power! Now he has power, what did he do? The no nonsense Army General who has the magic has been overrun by a CABAL!

I hate Buhary passionately because he is a divisive figure! The blood of the dogs and baboon comes to mind, such a comment from somebody aspiring to lead all?

Now he has power, what has happened? They say he is not in charge but people around him! Talk is cheap!

Buhary is a religious bigot! I have no love lost for him!!

The man is antisocial! Always bitter.

Sarrki you are not wrong, I hate Buhary! No apologies!
