Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has sparked controversy with a scathing 'thank you' message to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who attended his 65th birthday celebration on Saturday. In the SMS message, Fayose accused Obasanjo of making "very irresponsible comments" at the event, stating, "You went so low but am not surprised because someone once said you are supposed be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely that's where you belong." Fayose also questioned Obasanjo's sanity, calling him a "mad man" and suggesting he suffers from "heightened stage of dementia". Additionally, Fayose demanded the return of money he claimed Obasanjo received, referencing Obasanjo's public admission that Aliko Dangote brought it back.
Obasanjo responded with restraint, saying, "Ayo, thanks for your 'Thank You' message which undisguisedly revealed who and what you are, unchanged and unchangeable." He also confirmed that Fayose's money had been returned unopened via Foluso Adeagbo, the messenger who brought it. Obasanjo's media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, released the exchange to newsmen in Abeokuta on Monday.
The exchange marks a dramatic escalation in the long-standing animosity between the two politicians. Obasanjo had previously forgiven Fayose for past insults during his birthday speech, stating, "You have asked for forgiveness, and you are forgiven," despite acknowledging that Fayose wasn't his "best political child".
