'I[b]t’s not by force to be relevant’ – Isaac Fayose slams elder brother over comment on Oyo kidnapping[/b]

Isaac Fayose has slammed his elder brother and former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose over the latter’s recent comments on the abduction of school children in Oyo State.

The former governor, during an interview with Channels TV, alleged that the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde may have orchestrated the abduction of about 42 students and teachers.

He claimed that the Oyo State Governor has the means to stop security crisis in his state but decided to blackmail the president.

Fayose’s claim is currently generating backlash on social media with netizens attacking him for defending President Bola Tinubu government amid the deteriorating security situation.

Reacting, Isaac Fayose in a video he posted on his official Facebook page, said he is ashamed of his elder brother.

Isaac, a good governance advocate claimed that the former governor is struggling to remain relevant in the country by supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC-led government.

He said, “Four weeks ago, they kidnapped people in Ekiti State, why didn’t you tell the governor that he is collecting security votes and should protect the people?

“My brother, people are looking at you like what is this man turning to. Do you mean that people are being killed in Katsina, Kwara and other APC states because their governors pocketed their security votes?

“If you don’t have anything to say, please remain quiet like every other former governor, it is not by force to be relevant”.

Peter Ayodele Fayose sounded like a Tinubu supporter

Do you mean that people are being killed in Katsina, Kwara and other APC states because their governors pocketed their security votes?

Peter Fayose really add to the sorrow of many families with that his senseless statement. I cant just wrap my head around the kind of people in today's Nigerian political space. Very callous, insensitive, wicked and evil people.

Good one from fayose junior.

Nawa oo

Most of us Yoruba Muslims are getting so tired of Tinubu s govt, things are getting worst

Nawa Nlfpmod.

Please my advice to nigeria and nigerians
Please avoid hungry politicians
Please they can do do or die politics

AYO is trying hard to protect Tinubu .

"I will put fire in their states". Who made this statement and to whom? Clearly, we all can see the fire or can't we?

Ayo Fayose supposed to be a highly respected senior colleague of both Wike and Makinde. He was already a state governor as far back as over 23 years ago. How he stoops so low to now turn himself into a boy boy is a wonder to me.

Isaac is still angry at his brother because Ayo did not let his family loot just because he was Governor. They never forgave Ayo fayose since then.

He might be speaking out of experience who knows

Silly old man indeed. Another mumu old man will disgrace himself tomorrow.. it's a daily thing

Ayo Fayose is a Very Irresponsible Senseless Mumu Politician

He knows the elder brother no get sense. Na why i no dey rate many an older sibling. Once you've grown up, and can articulate your thoughts and perspectives properly,you go realize say many no too get sense. You were only seeing them from a lens that hadn't fully developed

The highest form of hypocrisy na amongst Nigerian youths...
Go get your pvc! Let's vote a neutral person and flush the likes of Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, Kwankwanso, wike, Gandunje etc.... all these gladiators na one of naija biggest problem.

#I'll prefer Sowore or Jonathan to emerge as president or make we just divide make everybody go their ways!

This one should go and REST/mourn his departed wife.Leave politics for NAKINDE/FAYOSE to drag themselves

Very irresponsible statement from Ayo Fayose.
To support Tinubu govt nowadays, one needs to sound stupid and become stupid. I think that's the most important criteria needed!!!

They want to turn this delicate issue into politics. This shudnt be a distraction
The major purpose for establishing Govt is the security of lives and properties and maintenance of law and order - pls fact check me
If Tinubu fails at this, he has failed woefully.
Let's stop using distractions and propaganda to fight what goodwill and determination shud fight

How about TINUBU and his family, are they not looting Lagos, and Nigeria at large?

Ayodele fayose is a very senseless human being , how did it get to this level for a whole two term governor, my shame is just ashamed of his shame, anyways maybe he hasn't seen his monthly stipends from wike, so he needs to say something, no matter how senseless it is, to prove to his paymaster that he really deserves the stipends.

Una never see anything yet. U guys are shouting for 2027. Dont worry he will win by all means and probably Nigerians including the tribalistic and religious bigots will learn a hard way

Baby bro be quiet!
Big bro is right!

Watch Makinde CLOSELY.
Very DODGY character.

Fayose is suffering from mouth diarrhoea. Anywhere belle face. This is why every politician must have a functional business or a legit means of livelihood before joining politics. Cos once they lose grip of power, they will become broke and start seeking the favour of the government in power.
