Younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, Isaac Fayose, has accused his brother of being self-centred.

According to him, his brother has neglected those who supported his political rise, including his family members.

He stated this via a video message shared on his Facebook page while celebrating Fayose’s 65th birthday anniversary,

In the video, Isaac congratulated his brother on turning 65 and prayed that his spirit of selfishness would disappear.

He recalled sacrifices made by family members during Fayose’s early political journey, particularly that of their late sister, Bimpe Shorinolu.

He said, “A birthday message to my brother Ayodele Peter Fayose at 65. May God bless your new age. I pray as you enter this new age, the spirit of selfishness in you will disappear and you can be a good man and turn a new leaf.”

“I remember in 2002, my sister Bimpe Shorinolu sold her land in Maryland, Lagos, for you to buy the PDP ticket when you didn’t have money anymore. She sold that land to raise N3 million to help you get the ticket.”

Despite such support, Isaac claimed that his older brother had now turned his back on everyone who stood by him.

“You betrayed everybody that has helped you in life to be where you are today. You had your birthday yesterday, and none of your siblings from your mother’s side were there, not even your mother. They didn’t invite her; they believe your mother is ‘a pain in the ass’,” Isaac lamented.

He also accused the former governor of abandoning long-time political allies within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“The party that gave you ticket twice to be governor, you betrayed them. You betrayed your political family in Ekiti, your siblings, your mother, even our late sisters,” he said.

He further expressed disappointment as he compared Fayose’s behaviour with the unity he said was evident in other notable political families.

“Look at the Adeleke family, look at Orji Uzor Kalu family, look at the Yar’adua family, they stood together, they grew together, they moved together. But you believe once you are okay, every other person can go,” Isaac lamented.

Isaac maintained that his remarks were not driven by bitterness but by a desire for his brother to reflect and change.

“We are not bitter. We are still praying for you. We wish you well. You are not our breadwinner. We are all doing well on our own level. But we want to tell you to turn a new leaf,” he concluded.

Ayo Fayose is really a selfish man. The brother couldn't have lied

All these are coming out because no free money from government house again! That's the attitude of Nigerian politicians, they occupy office and fixed family members to be eating fat on government money and getting all the accolade from family members.

Once the opportunity comes to an end and no means of sustainability, you see and hear issues like this.

Example; the families he mentioned and those not mentioned are currently in government paid opportunities, eating fat, while they tell others to patiently wait as future leaders.

Summary

His brother had advised Fayose not to eat the money he looted from Ekiti state treasury alone. He should share it with the rest of the family members as they had help him when he wanted to become Governor. He should share the loots with them just as other big wig in politics are sharing with their families

The retirement package these ex-governors get, plus looted money, plus money from connections, you think "means of sustainability" will ever end for them?

LeeSmart:
I really don't like when i see family members going against or speaking ill about each other.... Omors reasons why i love the north ooo, you'd hardly see family members calling out themselves publicly.

That family is messed up!

It's always sad to see a family, especially one in the public eye, having such a public disagreement. Isaac Fayose's message highlights deep pain over what he sees as his brother's selfishness and betrayal after their family made big sacrifices for his success. While we only have one side of the story, his heartfelt plea seems to come from a place of wanting his brother to change and remember the people who helped him get to where he is today. Hopefully, they can find a way to resolve their differences privately and heal as a family.

Capital YES! Don't forget greediness is attributed when politicians fixed family members to be eating government money freely, there's different between free money that flowing continuesly from what you have gathered which would only be subjected to depletion as you spend.

Example; would ex-governor award contract Worth billions to relatives as a way of support from his private Pocket, like they do while in office? He would rather save his money to buy/lobby politicians for the next political position.

Have you not heard a former Speaker, 2-term governor, 2-term Minister complained on television not able to fuel his diesel generator due to fuel subsidy removal?
