Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s best kept secrets have been revealed by Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State.
The governor revealed in the current edition of ‘The Interview’ magazine that: “It was such a pathetic scenario, so shameful. Obasanjo was speaking rapidly like a parrot. I was shocked beyond words. I never knew Obasanjo would be that humble.”
“He was on one knee till the end of the conversation. Ghadaffi kept quiet and was just watching Obasanjo. When Obasanjo stopped rambling, Ghadaffi said, ‘Have you finished? Just know that I will not attend that meeting. I have other engagements.”
“Obasanjo told me that when you capture a general and you don’t kill him, he’ll come back and kill you; that since Atiku tried to stop him and failed, he must pay for it. And he (Atiku) is still paying for it.”
“I knew, as an insider at the time, that Obasanjo betrayed former Liberian President, Charles Taylor to induce U.S. support for his Third Term bid, after promising Mr. Taylor safe haven in Nigeria. The current chairman of the PDP, Ahmed Makarfi, was sidelined in favour of a sick and stubbornly reluctant Umaru Yar’Adua. Orji Kalu should not sell Igbo people down the river for cheap politics and I blame President Muhammadu Buhari’s government for making IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu popular.”
