Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a confusionist who has lost his status as a statesman.
The governor according to Premium Times made these statements on Sunday, February 16 through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.
In his press release, Fayose likened Obasanjo to a cancer in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Nigeria that may never get cured in a lifetime.
He said Obasanjo was always looking for ways to pull a house down when he is not the one controlling it.
"Obasanjo has always benefitted from the misfortune of others and he is living with the impression that he is the wisest person in the whole world.
"In 1993, he said the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, 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 was scheming 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 matched 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.
"However, I have this bad news for Obasanjo. Nigeria is not his football that he can kick around as he likes. President Jonathan will be re-elected, and Nigeria will be freed from his (Obasanjo) bondage once and for all."
The governor, who expressed confidence that President Goodluck Jonathan will be re-elected for a second term, added that Obasanjo is against President Jonathan because the president doesn't allow Obasanjo control him.
It would be recalled that after months of him expressing dissatisfaction with the government of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Obasanjo last week voiced his support for the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, Gen Buhari during the launch of his widely discussed
