A mild drama has emerged between former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and former President Olusegun Obasanjo after the ex-governor sent a controversial “thank you” message following Obasanjo’s presence at his 65th birthday celebration.
According to a statement released on Monday by Obasanjo’s Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, the former President received a text message from Fayose expressing appreciation for his attendance but filled with strong, insulting remarks.
The “Thank you” note by SMS to the former reads:
“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 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 it but Dangote brought u back.
“Your leopard will never change his skin”, the letter reads.
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.”
