Fayose lambasts Buhari, Obasanjo

Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has lambasted President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Muhammadu Buhari, describing them as “expired” leaders.

Fayose, a fiery critic of the Buhari administration, made the statement while reacting to the letter Obasanjo wrote to Buhari, advising him not to seek re-election comes 2019.

Obasanjo in the letter on Tuesday accused President Muhammadu Buhari of gross incompetence and also condoning corruption within the presidency despite his fights against corruption.

He also accused the president of nepotism and condoning corrupt practices committed by his allies.

However, reacting to the letter, Fayose said he agrees with Obasanjo’s letter to Buhari earlier on Tuesday, the duo “do not represent Nigeria of today”.

In a series of tweets about the letter, Fayose said Obasanjo re-echoed his claims about Buhari. He, however, said both leaders have “outlived their usefulness” to Nigeria.

“I agree with Obasanjo’s letter even though he didn’t say anything that I have not said about Buhari and his govt before,” he wrote.

“However, Obasanjo and Buhari are like 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.”
