Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abiastate has defied Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti who categorically asked him not to visit the state to advocate for peace and consequently campaign for a second term for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Punch reports that Kalu said the statement that he was not welcome in Ekiti was unfortunate and said that such was not expected from someone holding a high political office, like a governor
.The former governor revealed that he hosted the Ekiti governor after he was impeached during the Obasanjo administration.“My attention was called from Ondo state on Saturday that Governor Fayose said I should not come to Ekiti.
Fayose is my boy.He can’t stop me from coming. He is my boy and he knows he can’t stop me on anything.
“Governor Fayose was in my house for 90 days after he was impeached. He is my friend but he has gone beyond his limit by saying a bonafide elder statesman like me should not come to Ekiti.“
Fayose was in my state, Abia last week, nobody said he should not come. So I have declared war on him. Even if I sleep on the floor, I will still defeat Fayose on any issue.
”Kalu also lambasted ex-President Obasanjo for his criticis of the current administrationled by Buhari.Kalu said Chief Obasanjo was “the most incompetent to describe any government as being corrupt in the country.”
