Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, says ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo has no moral rights to accuse anyone of corruption.
He said Obasanjo eats and sleeps with corruption, adding that his government was the most corrupt in Nigeria's history.
Fayose stated this in a statement issued by his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, in reaction to Obasanjo's recent comments, where he accused pastors of aiding corrupt leaders.
The Governor said if anyone would criticise church leaders, it should not be the elder statesman.
He said: "Obasanjo that I know does not have morals rights to accuse anyone of corruption because he eats and sleeps with corruption.
"If
anyone must accuse the church in Nigeria of promoting corruption, that
person cannot be Obasanjo because he 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
Halliburton scandal be sermonising about corruption? Who introduced
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 $1.09 billion Malabu oil block initiated in 2006?"
Fayose
added that it was under Obasanjo's leadership as president that
governors were made to donate N10 million each to the building of his
library.
On Saturday, April 8, while
speaking at the 2017 convention lecture of Victory Life Bible Church
International in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Obasanjo had accused church
leaders of accepting gifts without questioning their sources.
