Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has renewed hostility with former President, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Until now, Obasanjo and Fayose, who have been in a long political rift, were said to have settled their differences.
The former president graced Fayose’s 65th birthday party in Lagos on Saturday, where he made some scathing remarks over the former governor’s abuses on his personality but said he had forgiven Fayose.
Obasanjo’s comment should have sufficed to bury the hatchet but Fayose has activated a new ground for quarrel with a ‘Thank You’ text message sent to Obasanjo.
In a statement by the Media Aide to the former president, Kehinde Akinyemi, Fayose expressed anger over the remarks, noting that his silence on his birthday was to prove that he was sane.
Part of the message reads,
“Dear Baba Obasanjo, I trust this meets you well.Your coming to my birthday party, I appreciate it except for your very irresponsible comments at your age.
“You went so low but I am not surprised because someone once said you are supposed to be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely that’s where you belong.
“I kept quiet or did not reply to you at the function so that the world will know the difference between a sane and a mad man that you are.It is also obvious that you have also lost your sanity OR should I say is the heightened stage of dementia.
“Not to worry Baba., I shall set the records straight in due course of time”.
The former President’s response reads;
“Ayo, thanks for your “Thank You” message which undisguisedly revealed who and what you are, unchanged and unchangeable.
Your money has been sent back through Foluso Adeagbo who brought it and in the same bag as he brought it unopened by me.”
