According to
Vanguard, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has said that he bears no grudge
against the person of the former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
He said
Obasanjo’s recent comment against him was to put him on his toes towards saving
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Fayose made
the clarification in Ado-Ekiti, weekend, while featuring on a monthly Radio and
Television Programme, Meet Your Governor.
He said it
would be wrong for anyone to view his recent outburst against the former
Nigeria leader as an attempt to settle personal scores.
Fayose said
members of the PDP must see the sustained attack by Obasanjo against President
Goodluck Jonathan and the party, as something that must be condemned.
He said:
“This is not a question of whether somebody is elderly or young, but when you
see somebody continuously attacking the vehicle conveying members of the PDP,
then that person must be checked or else the vehicle could sink. The PDP is
like a moving train and when you see somebody shooting sporadically at it,
those inside must talk or raise alarm if they must survive the onslaught.”
Speaking
further, the governor said Obasanjo was more at home with the opposition, most
especially the All Progressives Congress, APC, stressing that this informed the
strange romance between them.
He urged
members of the PDP to rise and defend the party from both the enemies within
and those outside the party .
On the 2015
general elections, Fayose said the tide still favours the return of President
Goodluck Jonathan to power.
According to
him, Nigerians would not make the mistake of voting APC into power at the
centre, adding that the opposition party has bad records in the states it is
governing.
