Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has
congratulated the newly elected President of Liberia,
George Weah, describing him as someone destined by
God to be president.
He said “I salute George Weah’s courage and resilience
in spite of the activities and machinations of oppressors
and interlopers who blocked his victory 12 years ago.
Because the likes of former President Olusegun
Obasanjo are not God, George Weah has been able to
achieve his destiny through the grace and power of God
and I wish him a successful tenure.”
The governor, who also described the United Nation’s
(UN) choice of Obasanjo as a mediator in Liberia as
misplaced, pointed out that “Someone like Obasanjo,
who was at the center of the manipulation of George
Weah’s electoral victory 12 years ago should not be the
one to mediate now that he (Weah) has secured the
victory that he was denied then.”
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,
Governor Fayose urged the All Progressives Congress
(APC) led federal government and particularly the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to
learn from what happened in Liberia and allow the will
of the people to prevail in 2018 and 2019 elections.
He said, “the emergence of George Weah as Liberia
President 12 years after he was short-changed by those
who wielded power at that time is a further confirmation
that there is no God in man.”
Governor Fayose called on the UN Secretary-General,
António Guterres to withdraw the nomination of
Obasanjo as a mediator in Liberia, noting that;
“Obasanjo, who was a major actor in the Liberia’s 2005
election crisis lacked moral rights to be a mediator in
the affairs of that country now that it had the first
peaceful transfer of power from one democratically-
elected leader to another in more than 70 years. He will
rather compound the problems in Liberia because I
don’t see him being trusted by the President-Elect,
whom he (Obasanjo) openly worked against in 2005 to
impose the outgoing President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
for reasons best known to him.
“The UN should be mindful of the fact that someone like
Obasanjo that may be seen as celebrity and champion
of democracy internationally is actually a bad and
decaying element, lacking democratic credential here in
Nigeria, considering his failed third term agenda.”
The governor told leaders of Africa, especially the
democrats among them to always avoid leaders like
Obasanjo with questionable antecedents, saying “he is
the actual confusion in the continent.”
