FAYOSE 1.webp
The Digest:


In a stunning public rebuke, Isaac Fayose used his older brother's 65th birthday to accuse former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose of chronic selfishness and betraying those who supported his political ascent. According to a video message posted online, the younger brother coupled birthday wishes with sharp criticism, revealing deep family fractures and political disappointments.

Key Points:
  • Isaac Fayose accused his brother, former Governor Ayodele Fayose, of "spirit of selfishness."
  • The message was delivered in a Facebook video marking the former governor's 65th birthday.
  • Isaac revealed their late sister sold her Lagos land for N3 million to fund Fayose's 2002 PDP ticket.
  • He claimed no siblings from their mother's side were invited to the birthday celebration.
  • The former governor was accused of betraying his political family in Ekiti and the PDP.
  • Isaac contrasted the Fayose family's disunity with the Adeleke and Yar'Adua families.
  • He insisted the message came from a place of concern, not bitterness, urging his brother to "turn a new leaf."
In this family conflict lies a deeper truth about political success: that the storms weathered together can sometimes create deeper divisions than the ones faced apart.
