Obasanjo - Yoruba Obas Saga: Femi Fani-kayode Musings On Twitter by Racoon(m): 1:04pm On Sep 20, 2023
I am deeply saddened and utterly mortified by the way in which former President Olusegun Obasanjo lambasted our reverred traditional rulers in Oyo state and "ordered" them to "stand up" and "sit down" as if they were children.

This is the same OBJ that, once upon a time, displayed his respect, humility and I daresay greatness by bowing, kneeling and prostrating before our monarchs, even when he was President, yet today he talks to them as if they are his garbage collectors and orders them to jump up and down like a molue driver talking to his beleaguered passengers and a motor park tout talking to a bunch of jobless and worthless underlings.


Many think that the whole thing is some kind of joke but I do not. We must not take it lightly and the truth is that by doing what he did he has spat on all our faces.
His words and behaviour are a desecration of our values and a grave insult to the Yoruba people and our traditional institutions.

I am constrained to be gentle and restrained in my criticism of Baba OBJ on this and so many other issues because of the undying love, respect and reverence I have for him. This is all the more so given the fact that I proudly served in his Government.

However his association with and support for Peter Obi in the last presidential election has diminished and demystified him in the eyes of most to such an extent that it has become pitiful and embarrassing. It is also indefensible. How can a man who dedicated his life to and fought for a united Nigeria support a closet secessionist, a political fraud, a patently deceitful, vainglorious and dishonest man and a religious bigot like Peter to be President?

That the great OBJ is now a flaming Obidient is the 8th wonder of the world. It really makes no sense and it is simply mind-boggling. What we witnesed when OBJ insulted our traditional rulers in Oyo state yesterday was the Obi spirit which is now firmly embedded in him at work.

First he was at a gathering in Awka where the Yoruba race were labelled "political rascals" by some Igbo leaders without a response from him and now he has the guts and effontry to tell our traditional rulers to jump up and down like yoyos and clowns?

Baba this is too much. Please respect yourself and stop embarrasing those of us that still have some affection and respect left for you.

According the garrulous glutton and bloody sanctimonious hypocrite called Femi Fani-Kayode, when Tinubu insulted and desecrated the the Oni of Ife and the SW Obas, it was not an insult to the Yoruba race. See what supporting a drug baron, certificate forger and electoral criminal involved in state capture can do to someone brain? Having retrograde amnesia!

And what does Obasanjo alleged disrespect for the SW traditional leaders got to do with Peter Obi Mr "who is sponsoring you"? Or it is your sheer megalophobia for the sweeping political enigma called Peter Obi that you once said his "obedient" followers are a monumental force to be reckoned with?

Given his antecedents and former leadership of Nigeria, General Olusegun Matthew Okikinola Aremu Obasanjo is entitled to his political choice and inclinations and not being tribally warped with your toxic kind of politics that has enthroned the most despicable President in the annals of this nation. So shove your opinion down your ass and be guided even in your obsession Mr anywhere belly face political food errand boy.

When their inec president insulted Ooni of Ife in an event it was right to those BAT miscrants but because obasanjo ask those oba to stand up and give respect to the governor and him the way he himself use to give respect to them, they are now running their mouth like a tap water.

Make Fani kayode go and sit dowm.
