Obasanjo Releases Gov Fayose's 2012 Apology Letter ...... by Surplus90(op): 9:38am On Dec 07, 2014
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has asked
Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, to stop his
verbal attacks on him and seek God’s forgiveness
for abusing him barely two years after he begged
him in a letter over previous insults.
Governor Fayose had last week in Ile Ife, Osun
State, lambasted Obasanjo for what he called
Obasanjo’s unnecessary outbursts on President
Goodluck Jonathan.
But Obasanjo, through one of his associates,
disclosed that Fayose wrote him a letter, begging
him two years ago to facilitate his (Fayose)
return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Obasanjo’s associate asked Nigerians not to
take Fayose serious as he would soon write
another letter of apology to the former president.
Fayose’s letter, dated 26th June, 2012, obtained
by Saturday Tribune, detailed how he begged
Obasanjo for forgiveness, for what he called his
actions that had caused embarrassment to the
former president.
The tone of the letter also asked the former
president to help him facilitate his return to the
PDP.
The former president, in his reply to Fayose’s
letter, dated July 18,2012, accepted to forgive the
Ekiti State governor but told him that the aspect
of facilitating his return to the party needed to be
handled at the local, state and the national levels
of the party.
Below is the unedited content of the letter Fayose
wrote to Obasanjo and the former president’s
reply to Fayose’s letter.

Some of these younger politicians trying to pull Baba's leg had better be careful.

The man is just so apt in giving the precise response to any attack!

Fayose’s Letter:
“Dear Baba,
“There is no denying the fact that my relationship
with you has gone sour as a result of my action
and inaction which have definitely caused you
embarrassment in public and this has marred our
very good father-son relationship in the past.
“I take responsibility for my over reaction and
disrespect to your person which is most regretted,
I am indeed sorry.
“I pray that God will give you the grace to let go
of the past knowing fully well that I am human
and therefore not infallible especially considering
the circumstances surrounding my removal from
office.
“To further buttress my willingness to seek peace
with you, I could recall that I had made several
efforts to this effect by consulting your close
allies in the persons of Aare Afe Babalola (SAN),
Chief Omilani and Pastor Oyedepo amongst
others.
“Lastly, kindly disregard all insinuations or
political blackmailing suggestive of my doing or
saying anything contradicting my present
disposition as contained in this letter.
“My reconciliation with your goodself may not go
down well with some of my political opponents,
but you remain the father of all.
“My wife sends her love and greetings.
“With high regards.
Signed
Ayo Fayose.

Obasanjo’s reply dated July 18, 2012
“Dear Ayo,
“I write to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
dated June 26, 2012 pleading with me to forgive
you, as you put it, for your action and inaction
which have caused me embarrassment in the
public.
“As for the embarrassment and personal insult to
me, forgiveness is divine and I will not withhold
forgiveness since I believe that God will not
withhold forgiveness for my inadequacies.
“However, for me, the personal aspect can be
handled by me but the party aspect has to be
handled at the local, state and national levels of
the Party.
“I wish you all the best and God’s blessing.”
Signed
Olusegun Obasanjo.
