The long-standing political war between two political heavyweights – former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose appears to have finally come to an end.

Obasanjo, while speaking at Fayose’s 65th birthday celebration, announced that he had forgiven the former governor, signalling a possible resolution to their protracted dispute.

However, the event took a dramatic twist following Obasanjo’s blunt remarks about Fayose.

Fayose, who did not take the comments lightly, fired back at the former president in a message he later sent to Obasanjo.

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 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”.

For those who don’t know, this is what Obasanjo said about Fayose during his 65th birthday celebration in Lagos recently.

“You are not the best of my political children, but you have made achievements that must not be ignored. Even to get me to come here, you could not approach me directly.”

“You sent Osita (Chidoka) to come and sound me out. When Osita, who also is a political child, came, I said, ‘Well, if he (Fayose) has sent you and you have delivered the message, then tell him that you have delivered the message.’”

“So, you have asked for forgiveness, and as far as I’m concerned, you are forgiven. But the right lessons must be learnt.”
