In a confused fit of desperation and incipient dementia, Ayodele Fayose, the former governor of Ekiti State, had hurled untoward and undeserving diatribes against our former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, in a recent tweet on his Twitter wall.
Fayose has apparently not grown beyond his typical crudity. He remains uncouth, puerile, lacking in decency, deprived of wisdom, stripped of the formative Omoluabi symbolism that defines the refined and polished Yoruba persona.
At a time all patriots are concerned about the multifarious challenges affecting the continuity of our nation, we at the Nigerian Forum for Good Governance and Leadership advise Mr Fayose to focus his attention at the myriads of corruption cases against him in the courts rather than engage in cheap mudslinging against a revered figure like Chief Obasanjo who remains a dogged fighter for fairness and equity not only in this nation but also across the world.
If Mr Fayose thinks he can soften the ground for himself by praising President Buhari over the June 12th Democracy day honour for late Chief MKO Abiola, he is deceiving himself. We are sure President Buhari, who he had constantly abused and berated, is not fooled either.
