The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has rejected former President, Olusegun Obasanjo’s appointment by the United Nations, UN, to serve as a Mediator in Liberia.
The Governor, who also described the United Nations’ choice of Obasanjo as a Mediator in Liberia as misplaced, pointed out that “someone like Obasanjo, who was at the center of the manipulation of George Weah’s electoral victory 12 years ago, should not be the one to mediate now that he (Weah) has secured the victory that he was denied then.”
He further congratulated the newly elected President of Liberia, George Opong Weah, describing him as someone destined by God to be President.
His words: “I salute George Weah’s courage and resilience, in spite of the activities and machinations of oppressors and interlopers who blocked his victory 12 years ago. Because the likes of former President Olusegun Obasanjo are not God, George Weah has been able to achieve his destiny through the grace and power of God, and I wish him a successful tenure.”
He added: “The emergence of George Weah as Liberia’s President, 12 years after he was short-changed by those who wielded power at that time, is a further confirmation that there is no God in man.”
Fayose called on the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, to withdraw the nomination of Obasanjo as a Mediator in Liberia, noting that:
“Obasanjo, who was a major actor in the Liberia’s 2005 election crisis, lacked moral rights to be a Mediator in the affairs of that country, now that it had the first peaceful transfer of power from one democratically-elected leader to another in more than 70 years. He will rather compound the problems in Liberia, because I do not see him being trusted by the President-elect, whom he (Obasanjo) openly worked against in 2005, to impose the outgoing President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, for reasons best known to him.
“The UN should be mindful of the fact that someone like Obasanjo that may be seen as celebrity and champion of democracy internationally, is actually a bad and decaying element, lacking democratic credential here in Nigeria, considering his failed third term agenda.”
The Governor speaking further, told Leaders of Africa, especially the democrats among them, to always avoid Leaders like Obasanjo with questionable antecedents, saying: “He is the actual confusion in the continent.”
