‘Obasanjo Is The Father Of Corruption In Nigeria......... Says Fayose

‘Obasanjo Is The Father Of Corruption In Nigeria, He Has No Moral Right To Accuse Anyone Of It’ – Fayose

Fayose+Obasanjo
Reacting to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s claim that some church leaders are not only encouraging corruption but also celebrating people with questionable character, Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has advised the former president to stop accusing people of corruption.
Obasanjo made the accusation in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Saturday, April 8 at the 2017 Convention Lecture of Victory Life Bible Church International while speaking on the theme, “The role of the church in the fight against corruption in Nigeria.”
In a statement issued, on Sunday, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose said that if anyone must accuse the church in Nigeria of promoting corruption, that person should not be Obasanjo, adding that the former president presided over the most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria.
“Where did Obasanjo get the stupendous wealth he is parading since he was a pauper before he became president? Where did he get the trillions of naira that he deployed to his failed third term bid?
“How can Obasanjo, under whose tenure, Nigeria witnessed the Halliburton scandal be sermonizing about corruption?”
Fayose restated that it was during Obasanjo’s reign as president that governors were made to donate N10m each to the building of his library
“Isn’t compelling state governors to make donations to the personal project of a serving president part of corruption?,” Fayose queried.
Maintaining that Obasanjo was the father of corruption in the present day Nigeria, Fayose asked, “Who introduced the politics of ‘Ghana-must-go’ bags to the National Assembly?
“Who was the president when sacks of money were displayed on the floor of the House of Representatives as bribe money given to some Reps members to impeach the then Speaker, Ghali N’abba?
“Under whose administration was the out-of-court settlement in the controversial $1.09bn Malabu oil block initiated in 2006?”

Chelsea are singing their way to Premier League glory

Image
Getty Images The Blues came through what could have been a stern examination at Everton and took a giant step towards finishing first It wasn’t a Fat Lady singing at the end. It was blokes. Big London blokes. “We’re gonna win the league,” the Chelsea supporters bellowed from the cramped away section at rickety old Goodison Park. Their team had just inflicted upon Everton only their second home defeat of the season and their heaviest loss since the 5-0 drubbing handed out to them in November by Antonio Conte’s men. That win came fifth in a sequence of 13 in succession, a run that earned Chelsea 39 points out of 39. That run had put the crucial momentum behind Chelsea this season and handed them the initiative in the title race. They've never surrendered it. Their form has been less superhuman since then. They dropped points in five of their next 13 fixtures but the gap had become insurmountable. Conte maintained his focus on the tasks at hand

Ronaldo did not complain this time, however he did show his displeasure in 2015 when picked to be drug tested after a Champions League draw with Paris Saint-Germain. Ronaldo was heard saying “always me” when UEFA officials ushered him towards the drug testers, moments after the final whistle in Paris.
