Give us our N10m with interest, Fayose tells Obasanjo

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has demanded the refund of his N10 million donated for the establishment of the Obasonjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State, in 2005.

Fayose alleged that former President Olusegun Obasanjo forced all Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors, in 2005, to donate N10 million each, for the establishment of the Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Fayose made the allegation when he addressed PDP stalwarts, during a meeting of the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the party in the South-West zone.

“Obasanjo could come out to condemn PDP that gave him a platform to be president of Nigeria for eight years. When we saw the picture when Obasanjo was released from prison by General Abubakar Abdusalami, you would not allow such a man to sit beside you,” Fayose said.

“We were made to pay N10 million each, as governors in 2005, to build his presidential library. I have written to him to return that money. How can Nigeria be celebrating a corrupt man? He is the worst ever.

“He should put interest in that N10 million I contributed. His time has come and gone; we are at the centre of the business now,” he added.
