Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has received what he described as a “thank you” message from former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose — a note that quickly turned into a strongly worded attack.
The message, sent by SMS and released to journalists in Abeokuta by Obasanjo’s Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, opened with appreciation for Obasanjo’s presence at Fayose’s recent birthday event before shifting sharply.
In the message, Fayose wrote:
“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 thats 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.
Obasanjo later responded with a brief message, saying:
“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.”
