The Action Congress of Nigeria in Oyo State has warned the Accord Party leader and former Governor of the state, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, to beware of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, likening the former president of the country to a viper which though looks very beautiful in its outward appearance but who could be a deadly baggage to carry.
The party said this in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Hon. Dauda Kolawole.
According to the party, the visit of the former president to Ladoja is an ill-wind that could only lead to disaster for the former governor if he abandons a party he helped build and join a party whose runners were traditional vipers, scorpions and those who have ran Nigeria aground for decades.
The ACN drew Ladoja’s attention to the fact that the same Obasanjo, who had now seen him as a worthy bride, was the same person who supervised and choreographed his illegal impeachment as governor and supplanted him with his deputy, whom the ACN said was “a total antithesis of and indeed destroyed all that Senator Ladoja stands for in politics.”
The party added: “The intention of Obasanjo in bringing Ladoja back to the PDP, we hope Ladoja knows, is not because he likes the former governor.
“Obasanjo knows that with his highly discredited name, he can never win a single election in the South West.
“He is aware that the regime he foisted on Oyo State after Ladoja can only be likened to that of an armed robbers’ invasion.
“Even though he was a recipient of some of the heists, deep within him, he is aware of the quality of that government.
“He only needs Ladoja’s name and clout to gain legitimacy and immediately this is achieved, he will bare his age-long fang.”
While warning Ladoja to remember the Jamaican reggae star, Bob Marley’s admonition that it is better to live in a house of peace with you at the top than to live in a house full of confusion, the ACN admonished Ladoja to sleep and hear what his pillow tells him at night.
The party said: “It is only Ladoja’s pillows that can tell him the truth.
“He should go to sleep and listen to his pillows.
“Those who came to him are his enemies.
“Ladoja should reflect on that day when, as a sitting governor, Obasanjo barred him from entering Papa Emmanuel Alayande’s house.
“He should reflect on the long history of treachery and Machiavellian disposition of Obasanjo.
“Obasanjo is inherently evil and does not have a forgiving spirit.
“Ladoja should reflect on the path that the former president has trod which is full of the skeletons of the people he used and stabbed at a time when they relied on him.
“He should reflect on an anthropologist’s submission on Obasanjo that the former president can only be likened to a typical African witch whom the more good you do to him, the more evil it breeds from him.”
