Obasanjo does not see anything good in other people – Fayose


The outspoken Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo has a person who ‘does not see anything good in other people’.

Fayose, who is the Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’-Forum, stated this while answering reporters’ questions after a visit to General Abubakar at his residence in Abuja.

In a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti, Fayose commended the General for the roles he played before and after the 2015 general election.

He told the former leader some of the legacy projects his administration was executing, despite the economic recession in the country.

In his remarks, Abubakar congratulated Fayose on his election as the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.

When Fayose was asked by reporters if he would embark on such a visit to Obasanjo, Fayose replied in the negative.

“Former President Olusegun Obasanjo must take a cue from General Abdusalam Abubakar who is working for the unity and stability of the country. President Obasanjo must behave like a true statesman.”

President Obasanjo’s major weakness is that he does not see anything good in other people or what they do, except what he does himself,” he said.
