Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a political analogue who has outlived his usefulness to Nigeria.
Fayose, who reacted to Obasanjo’s statement asking President Muhammadu Buhari not to contest the 2019 election, said that the former president contributed to failure of Buhari’s government.
He asked Obasanjo to leave the political scene for the younger ones, saying: “Obasanjo and Buhari are like the accuser and the accused; two of them are analogue and they do not represent the Nigeria of today.
“Obasanjo (the accuser) and Buhari (the accused) are both expired people that Nigerians are desirous of getting rid of. They both don’t know when they were born and have outlived their usefulness in the political life of Nigeria.
“Content of OBJ’s letter is a welcome development but the messenger is also culpable in the enthronement and colossal failure of Buhari.
“Though we warned them ahead of this tragedy, it is therefore the decision of Nigerians that Buhari has failed and he must go, not that of OBJ.” [myad]
