He accused Obasanjo of causing the problems in the country

Governor Ayodele Fayose has described Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has the father of corruption and wonders if he has any shame.

The duo had a father-son relationship when Obasanjo when president although things turned sour later.

In an interview with The Punch, Fayose said he was not ready to make up with the former president except the latter was ready to make the move.

He described Obasanjo’s visits to President Muhammadu Buhari as an attempt to cover-up some things he might have done.

The Ekiti governor said: “That is if he is ready to make up with me. I’m not ready to take issues with Obasanjo because if you are talking about corruption today, Obasanjo is the cause. (What about) the N50m Obasanjo (allegedly) gave each lawmaker for his failed third term agenda? I was an Obasanjo boy.

Obasanjo can’t be celebrated as a saint in Nigeria. When he talks, I just shake my head. Sometimes, when he goes to the (Presidential) Villa, I wonder if he has shame at all. When he was (the president), Buhari was not visiting him regularly. Obasanjo is behaving like somebody who wants to cover (up) something at all cost. I want a former president that will know this nation does not belong to one man.

“Most of the problems in this country were caused by Obasanjo. The impeachment of a governor by four lawmakers was done during Obasanjo’s tenure as a president. Tell me where the moral is. We should not deceive ourselves.

The fact that he is supporting the government of the day tactically is to protect himself. Sometimes, I ask if he is looking for a political appointment. Have you seen Ernest Shonekan and other former presidents visit Buhari like he does? He is becoming a laughing stock. That is the way I see it.”

Meanwhile, Governor Fayose warned those who want to betray Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to be careful as those that betrayed Chief Obafemi Awolowo died mysteriously.

Fayose insisted that although he was not interested in joining the All Progressives Congress, he would still not hesitate to speak against any form of betrayal against Tinubu as they are Yorubas first before being politicians.
