ABEOKUTA – Former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, has sent a strongly worded “thank you” message to former President Olusegun Obasanjo following the ex-President’s attendance at his birthday celebration.
The message was released in Abeokuta through Obasanjo’s Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Monday.
Akinyemi, who circulated the content of the exchange, said Fayose had sent the message as an SMS to the former President.
Recall that, the former President had at the weekend during a birthday reception for Ayodele Fayose in Lagos, said he had forgiven the former governor for his outburst and insult against him in the past.
Obasanjo revealed how the ex-governor sent him money to travel to his party from his foreign trip.
In the message, Fayose said,
“Dear Baba Obasanjo, I trust this meets you well. Your coming to my birthday party, I appreciate 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 be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely, that’s where you belong.”
He continued, “I kept quiet or did not reply you at the function so that the world will 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, but Dangote brought you back. Your leopard will never change his skin.”
Obasanjo replied briefly, saying the message showed who Fayose truly was.
“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.”
