Why Ex-President Obasanjo Is Suddenly Extraordinarily Close To Best Friend That Spent A Long Time In Detention Under His Watch

Otunba Johnson Oyewole Fasawe and former President Olusegun Obasanjo have resumed their friendship… And this is authoritative.

The duo fell apart when Obasanjo as President failed to rescue his friend from prolonged detention.

Talks abound back then that rather than bail out his friend Obasanjo stoked the fire of his friend’s ordeal.

Fasawe who gallivanted about Town with a business card bearing the official title “Friend To Mr. President” was found wanting in business transactions conducted just before the campaign that made Obasanjo President started.

Fasawe’s long spell in the detention facility of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission soured the friendship between the duo, but sources insist all that particularly distasteful episode appears gone with the wind between them.

Those who should know disclosed that the wax of friendship between them is such that Fasawe was instrumental to Obasanjo backing Atiku in the fight to take away power from re-election seeking President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Fasawe played a huge role in Obasanjo’s public peace meeting and endorsement of Atiku” a source stated categorically to societynowng.com.
Insiders disclosed that Fasawe executed the public endorsement of the presidential ambition of Atiku by Obasanjo working hand in glove with former Governor Gbenga Daniel.

“Interestingly Fasawe’s perceived closeness to Atiku when he was Vice President played a huge part in his infamous detention when Obasanjo was President” a source disclosed.

Insiders disclosed ironically the same reason has now provided a ladder up another step for Obasanjo in his struggle to prevent Buhari from getting re-elected.

Checks by societynow.ng revealed Fasawe and Obasanjo have now become so chummy that the former is always around the latter these days.

“They go to events together and hang out just like old times, even more than that” a source stated.

Societynow.ng gathered one of the roles of Fasawe in the scheme of things is to represent Obasanjo in places he doesn’t want to publicly identify with, especially in the running of the Atiku for President political campaign.
