Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has congratulated the newly elected President of Liberia, George Opong Weah, describing him as someone destined by God to be president.
Governor Fayose said “I salute George Weah’s courage and resilience in spite of the activities and machinations of oppressors and interlopers who blocked his victory 12 years ago. Because the likes of former President Olusegun Obasanjo are not God, George Weah has been able to achieve his destiny through the grace and power of God and I wish him a successful tenure.”
The governor, who also described the United Nation’s (UN) choice of Obasanjo as a mediator in Liberia as misplaced, pointed out that “Someone like Obasanjo, who was at the center of the manipulation of George Weah’s electoral victory 12 years ago should not be the one to mediate now that he (Weah) has secured the victory that he was denied then.”
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) led federal government and particularly the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to learn from what happened in Liberia and allow the will of the people to prevail in 2018 and 2019 elections.
He said “the emergence of George Weah as Liberia President 12 years after he was short-changed by those who wielded power at that time is a further confirmation that that there is no God in man.”
Governor Fayose called on the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres to withdraw the nomination of Obassanjo as a mediator in Liberia, noting that; “Obasanjo, who was a major actor in the Liberia’s 2005 election crisis lacked moral rights to be a mediator in the affairs of that country now that it had the first peaceful transfer of power from one democratically-elected leader to another in more than 70 years. He will rather compound the problems in Liberia because I don’t see him being trusted by the President-Elect, whom he (Obasanjo) openly worked against in 2005 to impose the outgoing President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for reasons best known to him.
“The UN should be mindful of the fact that someone like Obasanjo that may be seen as celebrity and champion of democracy internationally is actually a bad and decayed element, lacking democratic credential here in Nigeria, considering his failed third term agenda.”
The governor told leaders of Africa, especially the democrats among them to always avoid leaders like Obasanjo with questionable antecedents, saying “he is the actual confusion in the continent.”

Who cares?

This is quite alarming

Truth is always bitter, i stand with Gov. Fayose on this.

Who is obasanjo to go mediate in electoral matter in Liberia after the role he played in 2005, that is unfair to Weah

Jonathan would have been a better choice.

fayose
why only you?

Weah all d way. A well deserved victory

I share the same sentiments as Fayose. I have been wondering about what qualified OBJ for such assignment. Fayose will make a good elder because of his penchant and courage for saying the bitter truth which most people are murmuring in their hearts. At least, this one is not about Nigerian politics.

WARNING!...Oga Fayose, you cannot mess up with 2 Generals and get away with it!....OBJ will definitely ensure PMB give you the Bode-George treatment once your immunity is stripped off in 2018!

Fayose overstepped his boundary. He is wading into areas of international politics that will draw enmity and stack antagonism against his career. This is not PDP/APC rivalry, he is addressing decisions of much bigger heirarchies.

Political and Electoral supervision under the UN is funded by peace missions established to promote mediation and reconciliation, particularly around hot spots on the globe. The peace institutes also act as think tank for diplomatic missions and military interventions. Obasanjo has for long been a fellow of many peace institutes around the globe, particularly on the platform of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton. When they send a fellow on a mission it has monetization values. Weah and other participants will be made to sign agreements that bring in trade agreements and peace treaties to Liberia. It is not done on empty hands.

We are seeing Jonathan also starting to supervise elections. This is how Obj started many years ago before advancing to a mediator for peace. We hope to see Buhari in that capacity one day. Nigerian politicians serving as instruments of hope and stability on the continent....perharps we can better our own internal domestic politics from the results and lessons learnt through these participations at the international front.

Fayose need to put domestic politics aside and share joy that our countrymen are resources for election monitoring, supervision and mediation around Africa. If it averts war, then it is good....regardless if the agent is Obasanjo or Jonathan.

Fayose words means nothing .that Weah is now the president does not make him the Liberia messiah .

Whatever weah achieved is his personal achievement

True talk

See fayose. Wen him brother FFK want turn Trump boy how him no go begin start wahala with U.N.
