Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has acknowledged receiving what he described as a thank you message from former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, following his attendance at Fayose’s recent birthday celebration.
The SMS, which Obasanjo’s Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, released to journalists in Abeokuta on Monday, bore caustic remarks from Fayose and directed at the elder statesman.
In the message, Fayose expressed gratitude for Obasanjo’s presence at his birthday but lashed out at him over alleged “irresponsible comments” at the event.
He claimed that Obasanjo displayed behaviour unbefitting of his age, alleging the ex – President once received money from him.
Fayose challenged him to return it, stating, “I shall appreciate if you return my money since you publicly admitted you received [it].”
It reads, “Dear Baba Obasanjo, I trust this meets you well.Your coming to my birthday party, I appreciate except for your very irresponsible comments at your age. You went so low but am not surprised because someone once said you are supposed be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely that’s where you belong.
“I kept quiet or did not reply 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.Lastly I shall appreciate if you return my money since you publicly admitted you received but Dangote brought u back.
“Your leopard will never change his skin”, the letter reads.
The former President replied tacitly: “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”.Obj.”
