Fayose, recently. calling for Obasanjo’s suspension from the PDP, said: “A man who has refused to respect the office of the President of Nigeria that he once occupied does not also deserve respect from anyone"
Now, Obasanjo has spoken, advising the Ekiti state governor, to mind his utterances and seek God’s forgiveness for abusing him barely two years after he begged him in a letter over previous insults.
According to Obasanjo, Fayose wrote a letter of apology and begged him for forgiveness after insulting him two years ago. He said Fayose begged to be allowed back in the PDP.
Obasanjo, speaking through one of his associates, asked Nigerians not to take Fayose serious as he would soon write another letter of apology.
Below is the unedited content of the letter to Obasanjo in 2012. It was obtained by Saturday Tribune.
“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.
Below is a snippet of Fayose's latest verbal attack on Obasanjo:
“Nobody should be treated as being bigger than the party.”
"No amount of mudslinging from him will stop President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection.”
“Have you ever heard a former president of the United States of America (USA) openly abusing a sitting president of the country?
“Does it mean that former USA president, Bill Clinton agreed with all the policies of George W. Bush and the incumbent president, Barack Obama?
“Obasanjo is behaving unpresidentially and he must be told to respect himself.”
“Obasanjo is a man who can never be pleased. His principle of life is; if it is not his way, it must not be another person’s way.
“Even if President Jonathan gives Obasanjo his blood today, he (Obasanjo) cannot change because he is already neckdeep in the APC agenda, with his eyes on the vice presidential ticket of the party.
“Therefore, no amount of visits by PDP governors can make him change his mind about President Jonathan, whom he hates not because he has not performed, but because he (Jonathan) did not hand over his presidency to him.”
Baba says he will come and beg again...
