Family Feud Erupts: Fayose’s Brother Accuses Him Of Betrayal On 65th Birthday

Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has accused the ex-governor of being self-centred and neglecting those who contributed to his political success, including members of his own family.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

He made the allegations in a video posted on his Facebook page while marking Fayose’s 65th birthday.

In the video, Isaac congratulated his brother on turning 65 but prayed that the “spirit of selfishness” he attributed to him would fade away.

He recounted the sacrifices made by family members during Fayose’s early political rise, particularly highlighting the contribution of their late sister, Bimpe Shorinolu.

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

“I remember in 2002, my sister Bimpe Shorinolu sold her land in Maryland, Lagos, so you could buy the PDP ticket when you had run out of money. She raised ₦3 million from that sale to help you secure it.”

Despite these sacrifices, Isaac claimed that Fayose has now abandoned those who stood by him.

“You betrayed everybody that helped you become who you are today. You marked your birthday yesterday, and none of your siblings from your mother’s side were present—not even your mother. She wasn’t invited because they believe she is ‘a pain in the ass’,” he alleged.

Isaac also accused the former governor of neglecting long-standing political associates within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

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

He further compared Fayose’s alleged behaviour with the unity seen in other political families.

“Look at the Adeleke family, the Orji Uzor Kalu family, the Yar’Adua family—they stay united, grow together, move together. But you believe that once you’re okay, everyone else is on their own,” Isaac lamented.

Isaac stressed that his comments were not made out of bitterness but out of a desire for his brother to reflect and change.

“We are not bitter. We are praying for you. We wish you well. You are not our breadwinner; we are all doing well in our own ways. We just want you to turn a new leaf,” he concluded.
