Let us discuss this drama that you may have missed....
Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose recently celebrated his 65th birthday in Lagos and he invited ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo as part of his effort to reconcile with old political adversaries.
Inviting Obasanjo turned out to be a big mistake for Fayose!
Obasanjo showed up and during his speech , he reflected on their long-running feud, and described Fayose as “not the best” of his political protégés, though he acknowledged Fayose’s political achievements.
Those words did not go down well with Fayose as he later admitted in an interview that Obasanjo’s remarks provoked him so deeply that he momentarily felt like retaliating.
He said
“I was enraged. I felt like taking the mic from Obasanjo’s hand and hitting it on his head. This is being sincere.”
The party is over, the feud is hotter and Obasanjo has revealed that he returned unopened the $20k that Fayose gifted him...
Hmm... Fayose is an handful. Employ emotional maturity, you said No! Well, there is no permanent enemy in Nigeria politics. You shouldn't have invited OBJ. Seems like a new battle line has been drawn.
ReplyDeleteDid Obasanjo employ any kind of maturity in someone else's terrain at an outing he wasn't compelled to attend?
DeleteFayose was the one who actually showed maturity as a former trailer driver by not slapping sense into a vindictive man who came to his event and tried to take over the event by demarketing the celebrant. Tori ologbon s LA SE n da sokoto were ko gun daa daa. Fayose decided not to join Baba in revelling with Baba in the mud so he may not be mistaken for an earthworm. .
Some of us read bittersweet by his first wife. Ko si eyan lara elomi. We read the letter his daughter wrote to him when he thought he was rubbishing Good luck.
Agba to ba da jeun, a ru igba re dele
Owo die die lara n fe
Omode gbon, agba gbon la fi da ile ife
Owo omode ko to pepe, tagba o wo akeregbe.
Ko si kekere omode.
In Yoruba culture, both the young and the old are deserving of respect from each other.
It is old people who want to bring their lineage under research that behave like this in Yoruba land.
This man mouth no good lol
ReplyDeleteSo those statements alone from Obasanjo is what gets you provoked to the extent of wishing to hit a mike on his head? Wow.
ReplyDeleteLol......
ReplyDeleteNot sure their fight fit end.
How can you say “ I felt like hitting the Mic on his head ? “ … an ex president? Just because he told you his mind ? Haba nah ! An elder will always be an elder oo
ReplyDeleteBaba obj is well respected outside the shires of this country! Let’s respect our own pls .
Ayo you no try at all .. no wonder baba said it openly that the money you gave him he no touch am oo … lol 😂
Hmmm 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteOBJ shouldn't have said that.
ReplyDeleteAh,you want to hit mic on Baba's head
ReplyDeleteIf anything happens what will you say?
Afi suru o
Obasanjo invited himself to fulfill his sinister agenda. He disrespected the VP just to disparage a man who didn't wrong him.
ReplyDeleteHow many AD governors have stood him up to insult him for his talent in writing results in SW, killing the opposition?
Is his romancing of late Kashamu yet his disparaging him in death not public knowledge?
I remember his laissez faire approach to the sweep of shari'a and attacks on Christians in the north and telling Primate Akinola to stand down his protestations, claiming to be more Christian than the man then. We are facing the result today. He expects he can call younger ones bastards as if palpable controversies of his origins don't exist.
“I was enraged. I felt like taking the mic from Obasanjo’s hand and hitting it on his head. This is being sincere.”
ReplyDeleteWetin be this Fayose 🤣😂😂
