How Fayose thanked Obasanjo
In the message, Fayose expressed gratitude to the former president, but accused him of going so low. He added that he was not surprised by the outburst of the former president, "because someone once said you are supposed to be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely, that's where you belong."
Akinyemi further explained that the "thank you" message was forwarded to the former president via SMS. Fayose said he did not reply to Obasanjo at the event because he wanted "the world will know the difference between a sane and a mad man that you are."

Fayose's message further reads in part:
"It is also obvious that you have also lost your sanity, OR should I say is the heightened stage of dementia. Not to worry, Baba., I shall set the records straight in due course of time. Lastly, I shall appreciate it if you return my money since you publicly admitted you received it, but Dangote brought u back."
Obasanjo's response to Fayose
According to the former president's media aide, Obasanjo tacitly replied to the former governor, adding that his "thank you" message "undisguisedly revealed who and what you are, unchanged and unchangeable."
The former president also rejected the money sent to him by Fayose through a third party, adding that he did not even open the bag, not to mention touching it. "Your money has been sent back through Foluso Adeagbo, who brought it, and in the same bag as he brought it, unopened by me, Obj."
Obasanjo and Fayose had been longtime political enemies. The latter was the governor of Ekiti when the former was the Nigerian president. However, Fayose's tenure was cut short by a state of emergency declared by Obasanjo, who eventually sponsored his removal from office.
