Olusegun Obasanjo Ex-President is an APC member – Fayose

The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of being a member of the opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC).

Fayose stated this while demanding that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) suspends Obasanjo for alleged anti-party activities.

The governor reportedly stated this while speaking to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Friday, December 5.

Fayose also spoke on the recent visit by five PDP governors to Obasanjo saying that it was a waste of time as the former President was determined to undermine President Goodluck Jonathan.

 “A man who has refused to respect the office of the President of Nigeria that he once occupied does not also deserve respect from anyone,” Fayose said.

“Have you ever heard a former president of the United States of America (USA) openly abusing a sitting president of the country? Does it mean that former USA president, Bill Clinton agreed with all the policies of George W. Bush and the incumbent president, Barack Obama?”

“Obasanjo is behaving unpresidentially and he must be told to respect himself,” he added.

Fayose also said that Obasanjo, a chieftain of the PDP, had already switched sides and become a member of the opposition.

 “Obasanjo is a man who can never be pleased.  His principle of life is; if it is not his way, it must not be another person’s way. Even if President Jonathan gives Obasanjo his blood today, he (Obasanjo) cannot change because he is already neckdeep in the APC agenda, with his eyes on the vice presidential ticket of the party,” he said.

“Therefore, no amount of visits by PDP governors can make him change his mind about President Jonathan, whom he hates not because he has not performed, but because he (Jonathan) did not hand over his presidency to him,” Fayose concluded.

Obasanjo had earlier criticized Jonathan for encouraging corruption but Fayose came after the former President saying that he had no right to attack the incumbent.
