Lagos, Nigeria — Just when you think say political drama don take break, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, don bring fire again for former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, after their supposed squashing of beef at Fayose’s 65th birthday party o. This wahala come start on November 17, 2025, when Fayose, in a quick comeback, tell Obasanjo say him dey belong to zoo (abeg, na wetin happen for the party wey we no fit predict!).
We all remember say for the birthday bash wey happen two days before, Obasanjo, in him usual style, come decide to address the elephant for the room — that one na all the hot words wey Fayose don throw at him before. But wetin we see apply for the whole party na forgiveness, as Obasanjo talk say him don forgive Fayose for everything (gentleman level don show).
As sharp as ever, Fayose no let the matter go. Just after Obasanjo use him big brother voice settle am, Fayose shoot him back small jabs through text message wey reach media for Abeokuta. In this text wey like thank you letter, Fayose no hold back, him dey talk things wey fit make even king of sarcasm nod with approval! Him say, “Baba, I no fit comprehend why you talk bad things at your age, even though some people dey talk say na zoo you suppose dey.” (E be like say our politics don turn to comedy show o!)
Eh, the way wey Obasanjo take reply show say him no fall hand. Him just give Fayose small hand jab back with, “Ayo, your ‘Thank You’ message show who you still be, unchanged and unchangeable. Your money don go back through Foluso Adeagbo, as him bring am, na im carry am back, unopened o!” (Chai, na real level of shade wey dem dey throw for Nigeria o!)
This wahala no just stop there, as Ayo even talk say Obasanjo don show signs of ‘heightened stage of dementia’ plus other tins wey fit make anybody reason say the matter don too deep. Wetin you go call am? Political elder statesman versus akpako governor matter? Seriously, this one fit set the social media on fire with all the gist we go follow after!
Make we clear am, Obasanjo no dey play, as he remind Fayose say he no too dey like am before. Him don also advise Fayose say make e try get humility (who know, maybe na when all these old paddy dey come out to play, wahala go come show). So, na just so we dey see all this big names dey throw words like say na for market.
As things dey unfold, e be like say this political saga no go end soon. Fayose dey plan to set record straight in due time, while Obasanjo dey remind am say na better thing him go fit learn make sharp o. Naija politics no be small matter, no be only palm wine we go sip for this juicy gisting!
