Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has accused him 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 ₦3 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.
