Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has confirmed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo has returned the $20,000 he gave him for his birthday logistics following a fresh clash between them.
Fayose revealed this in an interview, stating that Obasanjo returned the money after he wrote to him, and it’s now back in his possession, converted to naira.
The ex-governor explained that he had given Obasanjo the money at his request, allegedly for travel logistics, when they reconciled before his 65th birthday celebration.
Obasanjo was reported to have made scathing remarks about him at the event, prompting Fayose to write to him.
“I have written to him, and he has returned my $20,000. And I thank him for returning it,” Fayose said, expressing happiness at getting his money back.
“I am very happy. I will not allow such a man to carry my money away.”, he added.
