►Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has said that he bears no grudge against the person of the former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
►He said Obasanjo’s recent comment against him was to put him on his toes towards saving the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Fayose made the clarification in Ado-Ekiti, weekend, while featuring on a monthly Radio and Television Programme, Meet Your Governor.
He said it would be wrong for anyone to view his recent outburst against the former Nigeria leader as an attempt to settle personal scores.
Fayose said members of the PDP must see the sustained attack by Obasanjo against President Goodluck Jonathan and the party, as something that must be condemned.
He said: “This is not a question of whether somebody is elderly or young, but when you see somebody continuously attacking the vehicle conveying members of the PDP, then that person must be checked or else the vehicle could sink. The PDP is like a moving train and when you see somebody shooting sporadically at it, those inside must talk or raise alarm if they must survive the onslaught.”
Speaking further, the governor said Obasanjo was more at home with the opposition, most especially the All Progressives Congress, APC, stressing that this informed the strange romance between them.
He urged members of the PDP to rise and defend the party from both the enemies within and those outside the party .
On the 2015 general elections, Fayose said the tide still favours the return of President Goodluck Jonathan to power.
According to him, Nigerians would not make the mistake of voting APC into power at the centre, adding that the opposition party has bad records in the states it is governing.
