Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has launched a fresh attack on former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Fayose launched his attack via a Short Message Service (SMS) he sent to the latter in appreciation of his attendance at his 65th birthday celebration.
In the said SMS, which Obasanjo described as an uncomplimentary thank-you note, the former President emphatically acknowledged the disparaging message from Fayose, which he also tacitly replied to with “Ayo, thanks for your “Thank You” message.
In a statement issued on Monday in Abeokuta via his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, the former President said Fayose’s “Thank You” note clearly and “undisguisedly” revealed who and what the former governor was, describing him as “unchanged and unchangeable”.
The statement added that Fayose’s SMS read
“Dear Baba Obasanjo, I trust this meets you well. You’re coming to my birthday party, I appreciate it except for your very irresponsible comments at your age. You went so low but I’m not surprised because someone once said you are supposed to be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely that’s where you belong.
I kept quiet or did not reply to you at the function so that the world would know the difference between a sane and a mad man that you are. It is also obvious that you have also lost your sanity OR should I say is the heightened stage of dementia. Not to worry Baba., I shall set the records straight in due course of time. Lastly, I shall appreciate it if you return my money since you publicly admitted you received it.
Your leopard will never change its skin”, the letter reads.
The statement adds that the former President replied tacitly
“Ayo, thanks for your “Thank You” message which undisguisedly revealed who and what you are, unchanged and unchangeable. Your money has been sent back through Foluso Adeagbo who brought it and in the same bag as he brought it unopened by me”.Obj.”
