Ladoja lambasts OBJ ‘He caused PDP’s defeat in S/West’

THE governorship candidate of the Accord Party in Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, on Thursday, blamed former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, for the defeat suffered by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-West zone.

The former governor told newsmen in Ibadan that such ‘evil’ befell the PDP because Obasanjo, who was the architect of the party’s downfall, was an ungrateful man before man and God.

Ladoja, who recalled how Obasanjo was invited to run for the presidency in 1999, even when he (Obasanjo) was penniless, said he soon became a monster, lording it, not only over the party, but also over those who made him to be what he is today.

“I have not seen him today but I know that wherever he is now, he is a sad man,” he said, listing the perceived wrongdoings of the ex-president, whom he described as not only ungodly but also sinful before man.

“You must be good at home but he did not only lose his polling booth in 1999 but equally lost his ward and could not win a single councillorship seat when God, through us, made him president. The man who was penniless then in 1999 is today the richest black man in the world.
