Obasanjo begging for relevance - Fayose

The Ekiti State House of Assembly yesterday declared as Leader of the Opposition, Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State. Journalists who were present at the declaration later stormed the governor's residence in Afao Ekiti for his comment on the declaration.

Excerpts...

Q: There are views being expressed in certain quarters that your emergence as the lone voice for the opposition in the country is in preparation for a bigger post, maybe president or vice president of the country in the future.

Fayose: Cuts-in, Which country?

Q: What's your reaction to this

Fayose: I am not interested in anything, even this one, this one that I am serving, it is the will of God for me, there is nothing to vie for, Yoruba is not by morals, by morals, it can't be the turn of Yoruba if truly we are into rotation and for me, am not vying for anything, am not equally going to the senate. Senate is what most governors will rush to, am not going. I won't contest for senate. So anybody expressing anything for me maybe it is preparation of one thing or the other, that person is wasting his time because am not going to beg for any office.

I have gotten to this position because God wants me there and am not going to be part of any promotion to position me, No. I still have 3 years ahead of me, who knows what will happen in 3 year's time, who knows what will happen in 2 year's time, who knows where Nigeria in itself would be, so we should all strive for the survival of this country first and forget about positioning yourself. Great leaders don't talk about their political placement, they talk about country's placement, where the country would be at the appropriate time. But on the issue of what I stand for and what I say, I have no apologies and with all due respect, I have been like this from time immemorial and I have no apologies because this country belongs to all of us. This weekend I will be 55, a lot of people died when they were 10 years old, some died when they were 20, some when they were 30, 40 but am 55, if I die today my children will still entertain guests at my burial, you understand, they will equally leverage on my achievements for consolation, so if at 55, Eemm, Eemm, Gowon was president of this country at 28 or 29, Obasanjo was president of Nigeria at 37, today am still battling with the office of a governor and those people we are talking about are still talking in the public after being 80 or 90 years of age.

So for me at 55, this is the only time I can help Nigeria, we are in opposition, am I supposed to be celebrating the government in power? For what? I will tell them the truth. Opposition helps government of the day, help Nigerians, to keep them on track, opposition helps to check dictatorship, opposition helps to check oppression, my being here as governor, my voice today will remain by the grace of God, am not like somebody going underground, for reasons of harassment, it is only shameful that the government of the day is after shadows, you want to be in power, you are in power, you have charged virtually all PDP governors to court, are we saying no APC governor is corrupt in this country? But for me am not going into that, am not going to descend into that arena.

For everything I say, I say it in good conscience, when I was criticising the president before he became president of Nigeria, they thought I will be quiet after, Noo. Tomorrow if I find him wanting, I will tell him. The president is not God, he's only leader of our country for a period of time. The likes of Obasanjo were looming larger than life at that time, where are they now? They are at Ota, they are begging for relevance now, they go to the villa every day to beg for ministerial nominees, I was watching him in the papers, whether he was prostrating for Buhari or he was exchanging compliments I don't know. I can't explain it. At certain times, you must know when to switch off, you must know when to turn off and you must know when to go to bed.

For me, whether they call me leader of Opposition or not leader of Opposition or call me Ayo Fayose, am not even Chairman of PDP governors' forum and am not desperate for anything but you can't take away my voice. You can throw away my word but you can't throw me away. I remain resolute, I stand by the common man of this country. Tomorrow, Nigerians will appreciate me, it is in turbulent times we know the strength of character of a man, in turbulent times like this, and it is shame on PDP leaders decamping because of relevance. They should keep their relevance, whatever we do will live after us, good or bad.

Q: We as journalists nurse a silent voice, talking to you in Afao while whole battalions of PDP are in Abuja, we are worried, is there a moral behind it?

Fayose: Moral behind what?

Q: Why are you not in Abuja

Fayose: The whole state, the executive, Exco, they are in Abuja, am here for reasons I have to attend to, again this weekend is my birthday, secondly am expecting a lot of visitors tomorrow and above it all I am putting 3 days before my birthday for prayers and this I have made up my mind I want to do before this birthday, so what is important is not being in Abuja, we can't all be there, the impact, the role I have played without those public gathering has made greater impact even more than that gathering with all due respect to them. I appreciate what they are doing and am in support, am in support of what they are doing and I am in tune with them. So my state chairman is there and other leaders of the party are there in Abuja, so my being here is that I am observing 3 days wait on God, prayers here in my home town ahead of my birthday, that's all.

Q: Your Excellency, we just want to know Sir, the House of Assembly, they passed a vote of confidence on you as a governor of the state, what's your reaction as regards what they have done

Fayose: You see, like I have said to you, every position you take in life remains your opinion, if that's their opinion about me, I appreciate it and that's who I am, I have no apologies, it's like I said that to you, Nigeria belongs to all of us, whatever we need to say we have to say, am in opposition, am not in the ruling party and my duty is to keep the government in focus, in check. Make sure they don't slide into dictatorship, and above it all, whether you call me leader of opposition or you don't call me leader of opposition, my words will continue and will continue to be for the good and benefit of average Nigerians that can't come to the TV (Press) like this. So, whether they call me leader of Opposition or they don't call me leader of Opposition, am not bothered but I appreciate that, I appreciate them and I thank them for giving me such recognition and that goes to show that the whole state, the House of Assembly representing the 26 constituencies by extension the whole state is behind me, they support every action that I have been taking, I will continue to take, that is what they are trying to tell you and that they should look back that Fayose is solid at home, that's the meaning.

with all this political maneuvering by fayemi, then he his a good diplomat who knows how to manipulate himself to power, he his fit to be our foreign minister.

So we should forgive his kleptomania based on his cunning abi smh

The revelations scare me for my political ambitions, as well as for the future of our nation.

Logic is not what rules in the steering of this political Titanic called Nigeria.

Ex-Governor Kayode Fayemi may be Unstoppable Afterall -Despite His Corrupt Baggage!

Don’t hate me for this. I probably dislike Kayode Fayemi more than you do. However, recent findings indicate a different kind of game at play –a game for tough minds. Kayode Fayemi will be minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the heavens will not fall.

fayemi minsterial

Sorry, if you are the kind of person whose definition of good and evil is limited to black and white, then this article will cost you at least your appetite for food. In a worst case scenario, it will cost you your hope in a better Nigeria. Yet, hate it or love it, it is what it is. Politics is what we call it.

The race for ministerial appointments in the Buhari administration has had the entire nation transfixed with bated breath for weeks now. Like the perfect blockbuster movie, the pendulum of our collective emotion has swung from shock, to joy, and shock again especially with the eventual release of the ministerial list.

If many were shocked, they are still outnumbered by those of us whose bellies swirl in the nausea of an anti-climax. Social media is awash with memes, cartoons, and borderline hysteria from the viewing public.

In today’s edition of The Nation newspaper, we find a report which if anything, is preposterous.

Ekiti Jubiliates on Fayemi’s Nomination.

As a resident of Ekiti, I have had to call my cab driver who hails from Isan Ekiti, the hometown of Ex-Governor Kayode Fayemi. My aim was to find out if indeed the people of Ekiti in that town indeed celebrated the nomination. The answer was a resounding No.

The truth is that Kayode Fayemi is as unpopular in Ekiti as a household pest. He is even less popular than the party (APC) which he single-handedly ran aground in the state.

Ever since the rumours of his name coming up in the list, even staunch party members have prayed fervidly against it. Yet, as though the heavens were sealed, their prayers are obviously unanswered.

I must confess also that I was planning a 1,000 strong protest of youths at the city center (fajuyi park) when details of what went down began seeping in. As it turns out, Fayemi’s bid is signed, sealed and delivered by the strongest voices in the nation.

One lesson I took from the TV series, Game of Thrones, is the futility of prayers, requests, demands and protests in fact. No matter how you feel about it, the people who get what they want in this life are the ones who have something that the other man wants.

According to my source, it all began with Fayemi’s primal desire for power. Ever since he was soundly defeated by Ayo Fayose in his re-election bid of June 2014, JKF has been uncomfortable with his own face in the mirror as a common man.

The thing with desire is that it rises to the point where you will give your ANYTHING, in exchange for the object of your desire –as in the case of the God of Christians, who gave his only begotten son to save humanity.

Thus one day, two ex-governors Segun Oni and Kayode Fayemi sat to talk desires. Every Ekiti man will agree that Segun Oni remains the best governor Ekiti has had so far. It was quite unfortunate that he was ousted in the controversial court judgement that till date, serves as the albatross on the neck of Justice Ayo Salami.

The reader will recall that Fayemi had already being disqualified based on findings of the DSS, as was widely reported in the news. This left two potential nominees: Segun Oni and Femi Falana. The problem however was that Femi Falana was not a “real party member”. Segun Oni on the other hand, had his eyes elsewhere –the government house.

“Segun Oni is one man of whom it can be said that he forgot something in the government house. He was shamefully removed, and all his achievements usurped. His photo was even removed from the rank of former governors of the state. He has been nursing the ambition of a return, ever since.” said my source.

It was therefore easy for wily Kayode Fayemi to seduce Segun Oni into a deal that would purportedly land him in government house, come 2018. All that the ever-trusting Engineer needed to do was lead him, Fayemi, to his godfather, the Ebora of Otta.

otta

On getting to Otta, the General had a shocker waiting. While Segun Oni had already secured Fayemi’s pledge for his guber ambition, the Otta trip threatened to be a complete disaster as the unforgiving General turned Fayemi down. Fayemi’s past tirades against the general were still fresh in his memory. “No way, Segun. I cannot support this boy!” Baba said quietly. “Secondly, I will not even consider supporting any move against Bola Tinubu. Go and settle with him first.”

Fayemi lay prostrate begging Baba for over an hour, until it became obvious that the general would not yield. Segun Oni had fulfilled his part of bringing Fayemi to Baba, even if it was a disaster.

The following week, Fayemi journeyed to Kaduna. He was one of few Nigerians who know that Baba and the diminutive Nasir El-Rufai remain very very close. Contrary to insinuations that Fayemi wanted El-Rufai to talk to the president, the goal was to get him to appeal to Baba.

Here, the wily nature of man should receive a trophy.

Nasir was reluctant to talk to Baba, on grounds of better knowledge of how to win the aging general. From all indications, Fayemi’s next steps were based upon advice from Governor EL Rufai.

It was in the final moments of preparation for the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Insiders reveal that the last minute inclusion of General Obasanjo on the list of delegates was completely based on pressure from Fayemi.

Away from the maddening crowd of 170 million Nigerians, 14 million of whom roam the internet seeking which leader to devour, a most implausible group of four sat to discuss #TheList.

General Obasanjo, having just devoured a tasty dish of world-class “venison du new york” from his new adopted son, Kayode Fayemi was eager to discuss #TheList with the president.

Naturally, President Buhari, having read the DSS report was reluctant to agree to Baba’s suggestions. Right there in their New York hotel room meeting, the president made a politically fatal mistake. Apparently, his plan was to get rid of them by the hand of their own in such a way that he would remain blameless in their sight.

The president told them he would have to call the Jagaban first.

“Sir, you are the president, and I cannot say no to your nomination. Fayemi, and even Fashola are my sons. Whatever you decide is very okay with me sir.”

CHECKMATE

Any adult Nigerian knows that when Government chooses you, no man can judge you. Thus, it happened that all Fayemi’s financial sins got washed away in one day from a hotel room in the Big Apple.

In one desperate, fell swoop, Fayemi purged himself of his sins, and “merged” the 3 political conglomerates viz Obasanjo, Buhari and the Jagaban to secure his dream.

Much has been said in the news about the sins of Tunde Fashola, erstwhile Lagos State governor. All these revelations pale in the light of Fayemi’s reign of financial terrorism.
9 Billion Naira Contract for the supply of Chlorine to Ekiti State Water works.
100 million naira contract for the supply of Sallah rams to imams in the state.
4 Billion naira contract for the planting of flowers in the beautification of the State capital.
1.2 Billion for 1 kilometre of roads in Ekiti.
The list is long and scary. I had, myself, in May 2014 written him a letter on the strength of the freedom of information act, requesting full disclosure on details of these and other contracts eg 6 Billion for laptops for secondary school students. I never got a reply –a terse display of zero respect for the rule of law.

Yet, despite all the obvious signs, this man has shown Nigeria that politics is not about black and white. Rather, it is about the 36 shades of grey.

It is no mean feat, and it surely deserves rounds of political applause.

How such cunning manipulation of man and events was powerless to secure him a second term in 2014 still remains the riddle of the century.

We went to eat at New Buka in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife in 1997.

We were all jambites and were tired from the stress of registration. This jambite babe also came in to eat. She sat alone.
Orders were served and we all ate. Some Staylites were gisting in a corner when the girl finished her meal and got up to go.

As she stepped out of the Buka, a staylite shouted at her

"So who do you think is going to pack your plate for you".

The young lady was embarrassed beyond measure. She said sorry, and went to pack the plates.

Everybody laughed. I felt so sorry for her.

So, what's your own story?

Abi you no go school

LMAO

posted this sad news on NL 3 hours earlier. Guess Mods were taking a pee. Sad stuff though.

I saw this on Twitter from @eggheader just now.

Thats Le Meridien Ibom Resort. I was there last December and I rode that bike too!

I was scammed and it hurt like bullets.

The guy below took my money and never delivered. In fact, when I asked for a refund, he told me to "Get out!".

All these happened last Saturday. I am shocked that he is still advertising on NL Threads and on whatsapp.

Be advised.

They promise mouthwatering 5gb for 1k2

thanks brother, i was never love bling, i wasnt the kind of newby in relationship so there was never a time i was love blind, i have always call her attention to the issue and how much it brings gap into a marriage, now i need to know what exactly do i do to solve this problem, i dont wanna have to join the league of divorced couple but i must say, i cant focus once she starts cuz i love her a lot.

Oga I think your biggest challenge is that you are scared of FAILURE.

you must get to that point where you don't fear failure aka divorce.

Your fear will push you to failure. You will want to "kuku" fail by your own hands. Watch it.

Dont be afraid to scatter yam pepper pepper if u know what I mean. I know couples who disturb with their fights amd their sex day and night.

Your gentleness will onky embolden her to perfect her malice as an effective manipulation tool.

Face it like a man. Shes still that gf. Be like a bf. Let her know the door ia open.

Oh and by the way, she just may be on another thread complaining aboutchu too.

we all have hallpasses. She is using hers. Use yours too.

Fayose will surely be impeached or removed from office if not now but soon
A thug can not be a governor in Buhari's country
Wike The Thug hope you are taking notes

There you go again. Your impish and bigotted intellect is in the way of national progress. Lol@Buharis Country. Hiuanhiunhiun

Only one post.

Are you sure you are not here for the purpose of disinformation?

I strongly suspect you. There was no violence today.

Lets hook up at Stars motel.

Akinife:
mumu...so Fayoses brother can not become a company head....olodo for una

Hey Genius! This guy is from Ondo state. Ok

Earlier today we got news of a scion of the Fayose clan claiming that Fayose is disgracing their family.

Our investigation has revealed that this man Segun Fayose is no member of the Fayose clan of Afao ekiti.

He is head of Corporate Affairs at Multichoice.


Fellow Nigerians, please be wise. If they can lie this much, do not expect anything less IF they win even your LGA.

Dear Voters and Politicians, and Both. Don't fight. There's too much wealth to be made from this election. I humbly invite you to find out how I kickass here.

In the last few weeks, many enemies have been made. In fact MORE enemies than friends have been made because of two mumu leaders (actually, I prefer GEJ).

Ok. Here is the part you did not know.

While y'all were fighting and cussing each other on social media, a few people got together and decided to make money from the fracas. I dont know if you have heard, but war is the biggest money-maker ever.

So we decided to acquire an arsenal (not like boko haram oo!) of VERIFIED VOTERS' GSM LINES.
Only 6 people participated, and we put together the sum of 2.5million to get it.

Why did we do it?

Just a question needing answers.

I have seen the level of hatred being spread by candidates and their opponents. It made me wonder...

Who do you think will win #Nigeria2015 if people stick to their manifesto and stop attacking one another? Thoughts pls

Just saw this on Facebook. Can any of our sleuths confirm this please?

I hope this is not another case of Tinubu cloning Obasanjo's ideas.

Hmmmm......

Newkidoo:
guy, stop posting stupid pictures!! we are not saying Gej didn't try!! he tried but not to his best!! he could have done better

Guy, you also could have used your head better in this response. But Seun has not banned you, has he?
