Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has revealed that he was so provoked by former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s remarks at his 65th birthday celebration that he briefly felt like grabbing the microphone and hitting him with it.
Fayose made the disclosure in a new interview where he recounted the events leading up to the ceremony and the tense moment on stage.
At the birthday event held in Lagos, Obasanjo revisited his long-standing political rift with Fayose, describing him as “not the best” among his political protégés, though he acknowledged the former governor’s political strength and accomplishments.
Fayose explained that two weeks before the celebration, he had resolved to reconcile with several political adversaries, a decision that eventually brought Obasanjo to the event, and sparked the now-viral exchange.
