Fayose Reignites Feud With Obasanjo, Saying “As Old As You, Yet So Irresponsible”
Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has reignited his long-standing feud with former President Olusegun Obasanjo following his 65th birthday celebration in Lagos.
Obasanjo had attended the event and reportedly criticized Fayose for previous personal attacks, stating that he had forgiven him. The gesture was initially seen as a possible reconciliation between the two political figures.
However, Fayose responded sharply in a message shared through Obasanjo’s Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Monday. Expressing outrage over the former president’s remarks, Fayose described them as “irresponsible” and attacked Obasanjo’s character.
He wrote: “Dear Baba Obasanjo, I appreciate your presence at my birthday party, except for your very irresponsible comments at your age. You went so low, but I am not surprised, because someone once said you are supposed to be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely, that’s where you belong. I remained silent at the function so the world could see the difference between a sane and a mad man. It is also clear that you have lost your sanity—or should I say it is the heightened stage of dementia. Not to worry, Baba. I shall set the records straight in due course.”
The message signals that the supposed reconciliation may have collapsed, with tensions between the former governor and ex-president once again coming to the forefront.
