Fayose Cautions Obasanjo's on Recent Attacks on Former President Goodluck Jonathan

 

Following Olusegun Obasanjo's recent claim that the Niger-Delta people will suffer the consequences of the action of the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan, outspoken Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has decided to caution him.

 

He has openly urged Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to stop his usual attacks on the former president. This information was contained in a statement issued on the 20th of July  by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and News Media, Lere Olayinka in Ado Ekiti.

Governor Ayodele Fayose who expressed anger at the recent comment against Jonathan said:

“Most importantly, Jonathan’s performance as a democrat has been widely acknowledged locally and internationally, particularly by President Muhammadu Buhari, who on many occasions acknowledged the role he (Jonathan) played in midwifing a peaceful and successful transition programme, thereby averting the feared crisis in the country.

“This is in contrast to Baba Obasanjo, who tried third term when he was about concluding his constitutional two terms. And who knows whether he would have tried fourth term if he had succeeded with his third term agenda?

“The reality is, assuming but not conceding that Jonathan performed below expectation, democratic governance that he established in Nigeria is more important than any other performance that Obasanjo alluded to,”

Furthermore, He accused Chief Olusegun Obasanjo of seeking relevance at the All Progressives Party, APC after terminating his membership of the People's Democratic Party, PDP. He urged him to pursue his political interests without tarnishing the image of any individual in the society.
