The former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has vowed to jail former President Olusegun Obasanjo if he becomes President.
The brickbat between the former leaders began when Obasanjo in a condolence letter to the Ogun State government over the death of Senator Buruji Kashamu, said that the late Senator evaded justice on alleged criminal offence by manoeuvering law and politics.
In a swift reply, Fayose said that Nigerians will watch out for the end of the former President. But the former president, in a reply to the former Governor of Ekiti, said that he did not care how people would mourn him when he dies, Premium reported.
However, speaking on ‘Plus Politics’ on PlusTV Africa Tuesday, Fayose accused the former President of uttering hate speech.
“Let me tell to you, Obasanjo has made hate speech and should be brought to book by this government. I pray one day I will become President of this country by God’s grace. Obasanjo will go back to prison. I’m telling you the truth because there are so many things Obasanjo must be questioned about.
“Obasanjo is not a saint when he came out of prison. His farm at Ota was in shambles. But, today, it is back to life. Where did the money for resuscitating the once ailing farm come from? It was from the government.
“For the library, all governors at the time contributed 10 million naira each to support Obasanjo by force. The third term is still fresh in our memory. So baba should stop telling us he is a saint. Shagari was not good enough. He imposed him on Nigerians. He brought Yar’ adua and Jonathan. Nobody is good to Obasanjo except himself.
“Whatever you say about Kashamu. He has paid his own dues, spent his time. No court convicted him and he left and departed the world. Everybody will have an end. Let’s wait and see how Obasanjo will end,” Fayose said.
