Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele
Fayose has condemned the visit of five Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) to
former President Olusegun Obasanjo as "unwarranted, unnecessary and
uncalled for".
According
to the governor, PDP as a party must stop condoning indiscipline, saying nobody
should be treated as being bigger than the party.
Governor Fayose added that
Obasanjo who "does not appreciate others deserve no respect, and that no
amount of mudslinging from him will stop President Goodluck Jonathan's re-election".
Fayose also called for immediate
suspension of the former president from the PDP, 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.
He urged
the party to set a panel to probe Obasanjo's anti-party activities.
The
governor also described Obasanjo as one of the major problems of Nigeria,
adding that the former president's open castigation of President Jonathan was
unbecoming of someone who led the country for 11 years and wasted billions of
naira in his attempt to keep himself in office beyond the constitutionally
recognised two-term.
"Have
you ever heard a former president of the United States of America (USA) openly
abusing a sitting president of the country?" Fayose said.
"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 respect himself."
"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," Fayose added.
"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.
"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.
