Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, has warned Nigerians to be wary of former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s intention on who should be elected president in the February 14 election.

Fayose said the North deserved to present a better candidate and not an old candidate such as Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

In a statement on Thursday, the governor said Obasanjo should also be watched for his romance with some leaders in the All Progressives Congress despite claiming to be a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party.

He said, “Nigerians should be wary of Obasanjo’s banana peel. He was the one who put forward Umar Yar‘Adua as the President, knowing the man’s state of health and the man died in office. He was the one who said President Goodluck Jonathan was the best for Nigeria and that without him there would be no Nigeria.

“The question people should ask former President Obasanjo is what has gone wrong between now and then? He is against President Jonathan because the President refused to be pocketed by him, and any Nigerian leader who wants to succeed will not allow that.

“Obasanjo is now presenting Buhari as the best candidate for Nigeria knowing the man’s age and that the pressure of office would be too much for him.”
