Fayose's brother wants him to stop embarrassing the family, blames Nigerians for electing him.

Segun Fayose, the elder brother to Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose in a recent chat with Nation newspapers reporters appealed to his brother to stop dragging the family name into mud.
The UK-based Accountant said the abuses he has hurled at elders like former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari have really put the family in bad light adding that their father was a gentle and contented Pastor before his demise.
“It is a pity Nigerians are celebrating criminals. I am angry with Nigerians for electing somebody like Ayodele as governor. My children cannot come to Nigeria because of the terrible situation of our country.

“I don’t have a relationship with any of our leaders because of their criminality and anybody who says I collected money from  the opposition should step forward to challenge me. Ekiti and Nigeria are bigger than Fayose’s name and both names should be protected.


“I don’t want anything from anybody, but Ayo should stop insulting and abusing my father’s name. As a result of Fayose’s attitude, many people believe the Fayose family is rude but it is far from the truth.

“I have spoken to him many times, but he refused to listen. Buhari and Obasanjo are old enough to be his father and I don’t know why he should be insulting them.
“I am always sad with the situation of this country. Ayo’s arrogance is one of the reasons I said people should not vote for him prior to the Ekiti governorship election. If all I am saying is not true, my six children should die and I should end up in shame.

“Most of us abroad are not happy with the situation of Nigeria. We are sad. When people call me from Ekiti to complain about Ayo, I tell them to forgive the family. People should not see Ayo as an ambassador of our family.”
 He stated.

"Seek forgiveness not votes". Fayose tells Buhari

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has for the umpteenth time aired (or in this case penned) his grievances against the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Fayose urged the one-time President to seek forgiveness from Yorubas as well as Edo and Delta States and not their votes.
“Buhari’s coup of 1983 destroyed the South-West and the old Bendel State (now Edo and Delta) as it put an end to the  developmental programmes of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s Unity Party of Nigeria in the region including Lagos, Oyo, Ogun , Ondo, as well as Bendel States.”
“Buhari meted inhuman treatment on Yoruba leaders like Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Bisi Onabanjo, Chief Bola Ige, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and the immediate past APC National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, all of whom, he said, championed development and good governance in the South-West States.”


“If Buhari had not cancelled the Metroline project out of vendetta, transportation problems in Lagos would have been solved permanently.
“The Metroline project would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. But Buhari cancelled it and even went ahead to pay compensation to the French company that handled it.  Buhari’s action cost Lagosians over $78 million then.”

“In Yorubaland, we were enjoying free education and free health before Buhari came. Then, all that was needed to go to primary and secondary schools was school uniform. Drugs were free.”

“Apart from free education and free health, the South-West witnessed rapid development. Lagos State University, Ogun State University (now Olabisi Onabanjo University), Ondo State University (now Ekiti State University), Ondo State Polytechnic (now Rufus Giwa Polytechnic), and several other institutions were established.



“As of 1979, Lagos State had no secretariat. Jakande’s government  built the Alausa Secretariat within four years. Ajasin’s government built Alagbaka Secretariat in Akure within four years. Even the Lekki-Epe road on which they are now collecting tolls was constructed by Jakande.



“For all that they did for us in Yorubaland, what did Buhari do to Jakande, Ajasin, Bola Ige and Bisi Onabanjo? He jailed them and Bisi Onabanjo came out of prison with health issues that eventually claimed his life.”


“What did Buhari do to reward Awolowo whose party gave us free education and free health?  Awolowo’s international passport was seized and he was prevented from travelling abroad for medical treatment.  Awolowo died two years after!

“In 1984 that Buhari introduced school fees, thousands of our youths then dropped out of school.
“Therefore, Buhari who truncated the future of many of our people and jailed our leaders who served our land selflessly should be seeking forgiveness from Yoruba people, not votes.” He concluded.

"They brought in Buhari like a thief in the night."- Fayose

Buhari is sick! Buhari isn’t fit to rule the nation. Buhari is in the UK for treatment. Buhari isn’t back in the country. Buhari has returned.. sigh!
Governor Fayose of Ekiti’s interest in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari’s case isn’t waning anytime soon.

He insisted that the APC is deceiving Nigerians by concealing Buhari’s true health status and also added that the latter’s return to the country after 10 days in the UK was like a thief in the night.

Below is a statement from his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka 

“A man who campaigned for four weeks, speaking for less than one hour in all the rallies put together and needed to rest for 15 days should just stay at home and be playing with his grandchildren rather than struggling to take up a job that he does not have the required mental and physical strength to do. 

“They brought in Buhari like a thief in the night and now they want to put Lagosians into more hardships by blocking major roads all in the name of a phoney one-million-man match. 
“Why not hold their rally in a designated place instead of embarking on a match that will cause chaos and hardships in the state?” 
“APC said Buhari went on working visit to UK while Buhari himself said he went to UK to rest. When asked by press men whether or not he ever visited any hospital in UK, Buhari said: ‘What is wrong for me to go the hospital?’
 “By this statement from Buhari himself, it is clear that APC and its lying leaders tried to fool Nigerians, lying so brazenly and using fake pictures to authenticate their lies. 
“Even though there is nothing wrong in Buhari going for medicare abroad, afterall he should be seeing his doctors more often at his age, it is shameful that APC lied so brazenly trying to cover up the obvious reasons Buhari travelled for 15 days. 
“What is wrong is the lies told to defend Buhar’s trip to the UK to rest and seek medicare. The fake pictures of Buhari walking the streets of London, the fake Tony Blair picture and the use of pictures taken in Transcop Hilton, Abuja and claming that the pictures were taken in London is the main issue. 
‎
“Most importantly, presenting Buhari to us as a superhuman, who can never fall sick is what is wrong and Nigerians are expecting Buhari to apologise for all the lies told in an attempt to cover up the real reasons he (Buhari) travelled secretly to UK.”

Opinion: Governor Ayo Fayose Needs A Psychiatric Doctor |By : Joe Igbokwe

Anybody who sees Ayo Fayose, the so-called governor of Ekiti State should please beg him to see a psychiatric doctor before it is too late.
From the look of things now, I do not know if the man ever sleeps at all. From the look of things I can say authoritatively that he wakes up in the dead of the night to cry and curse the day General Buhari was born. I am sure he has fallen out with everybody; his siblings and members of his family included because of this Buhari factor.
After robbing former Governor Fayemi of Ekiti State, Fayose has been on top of the world celebrating his so-called victory until the bubble burst.
 When the results of the June 21 Ekiti guber elections was made public I remember I told anybody who cared to listen that APC must find out what went wrong before it happens in other APC States.
When the elections shifted to Osun State, APC knew that it had to stand up or PDP will get bolder and repeat the same onslaught. APC took the bull by the horns and the rest is now history.
Now almost seven months after, the sordid story of what took place in Ekiti began to emerge. It took the well-respected online publishing company, Sahara Reporters, to unravel what went wrong in Ekiti State.
Nigeria and the world was shown the audio recording of how Ayo Fayose, Musliu Obanikoro, Chris Ubah, Iyiola Omisore, Police Affairs Minister, Jelili Adesiyan, Brigadier General Momoh and many others conspired to rob former Governor Fayemi at gun point.
Ayo Fayose, Jelili, Obanikoro have since acknowledged their presence at the meeting but still denying the obvious and painful truth that they ordered the police and military personnel around and used them extensively to steal Ekiti State at gun point.
But the worst hit in this criminality and brigandage is the man Ayo Fayose. Never in the history of this country have we seen this type of abuse of the military in a civilian dispensation by a bloody civilian.
Ever since General Buhari emerged the candidate of APC and the events that have followed his emergence, Ayo Fayose has been a ghost of himself.
He fears Buhari more than anything under the sun. Even though Buhari is yet to win the Presidential elections slated for February 14 2015 and now shifted to March 28 2015, Ayo Fayose will not sleep.
He fears even his shadow and even a knock at the door by his siblings, his aides and neighbours. For Ayo Fayose, the fear of Buhari is now the beginning of wisdom. This is the reason he wants General Buhari dead by all means.
Fayose once bought the front pages of the Punch and Sun Newspapers not only to pass a death sentence on Buhari because the man is 72, he used the same medium to mock dead leaders from a section of the country.
Fayose nearly provoked an ethnic war in the country but the situation was managed by leaders across Nigeria who rose in their thousands to condemn Fayose without mincing words. But Fayose will not listen.
Soon Fayose started the campaigns that Buhari is sick. He has been trailing the APC Presidential candidate anywhere he goes.
He has been monitoring the man’s movement anywhere he goes. Buhari travelled to London and Fayose followed him to London claiming that GMB has gone for treatment.
Now can’t Buhari go for medical check-up like every other Nigerian of his status? Can’t Buhari go for treatment just like any other Nigerian of his caliber? What is wrong in anybody going for medical check-up or treatment? When has it become an offence for prominent leaders to go for check-up?
Today in all the papers and everywhere on the internet, the mentally retarded Fayose says, BUHARI CAN NEVER RULE NIGERIA. Now who is Ayo Fayose in Nigeria that will stop candidate Buhari?
Where is his capacity and capability to stop this movement? Who is behind this loose cannon? Who is beating the drum for this naked dancer? Of what meat is Ayo Fayose fed? I know that a million Ayo Fayoses cannot stop Buhari from being sworn in as president in May 29 2015.
I know Fayose is playing to the gallery. I know Fayose is being tormented by his past. Fayose has two murder cases hanging on his neck. Fayose has used thugs to attack a High Court Judge.
Fayose has abused the State Assembly in Ekiti State. Fayose has abused and frustrated the Speaker by using five members of the House to impeach him. Fayose has used five members to screen his Commissioners.
Fayose has passed the 2015 Budget with five members of the House of Assembly out of 26 members. Power has turned Fayose to something else that he no longer thinks.
Soon Fayose will be called to come and give an account of his open criminality and brigandage in Ekiti. Buhari will bring Fayose to judgment in the fullness of time. The world is now seeing why Jonathan must go for Nigeria to breathe fresh air.
Fayose knows that the moment General Buhari wins this election he has to run away from Nigeria. He knows that he is sitting on a stolen mandate. He knows that he needs nobody to advise him on what to do the moment it becomes obvious that Buhari is the next president of Nigeria. A thief runs when nobody is pursuing him.

"Fayose is obsessed with Buhari"- BSO

The obsession here is a sharp contrast to the one we are all used to. The obsession The Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) is actually talking about is the negative type.

Director of Media and Information Technology of the BSO, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe has reacted to Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose’s claim that Buhari is medically unfit to rule Nigeria.
He said:‎ “The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose, is suffering from what we call in medicine obsessive compulsive disorder, based on an appetite and a wish to see General Muhammadu Buhari dead.

“He is a psychopath, whose obsession has altered his sense of rational analysis of situations whenever he hears the name, Buhari. Unfortunately, he is not God and does not have control of the life of our revered General.

“Fayose should go back home and prepare to defend himself in the case of the massive rigging that led to the stolen mandate he currently enjoys and leave our general‎ alone”.

Fayose challenges Buhari to swear by the Quran if he didn't visit a London hospital.

Oh my! When will Governor Ayodele Fayose hands off General Buhari’s case? Infact, one is tempted to agree with the APC team that he hired stalkers to monitor him…
Still on General Buhari’s visit to the UK, the highly controversial politician has challenged the one-time President to swear by the Holy Quran if he did not visit a London hospital.
Below is a statement he released via his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka,

 “I wish they can see spiritually what I am talking about that Buhari, despite the hullabaloo will never be president. I predicted my return as Ekiti State Governor and I am saying it again that Buhari will never rule Nigeria again.

After President Goodluck Jonathan, there will be a young element in his late 50s from the North that will be Nigeria president. I want to liken this revelation to the story of Elijah and Elisha. I am the Elijah while my followers are Elisha.”

I owe it a duty to Nigeria and its people to expose the antics of the APC cabal whose only interest is to seize power to further their selfish interests.

“Without doubt, it is obvious that these cabal in the APC are trying so hard to deceive Nigerians on Buhari’s health status. That’s the reason they have been using photoshoped pictures to defend their lies on Buhari’s UK trip.

“First, they used a March 5, 2013 picture, claiming that Buhari was taking a walk in London on Thursday. Later they came up with another poorly cropped picture of Buhari with former British Prime Minister,Tony Blair.

“The same people who lied in September 2012 that they received a gold card invitation to attend the Democratic National Convention in the United States of America are behind the robing of Buhari in the garment of lies and I challenge Buhari to swear by the Holy Quran that he did not visit hospital in the United Kingdom last week.

“However, I want to disappoint this selfish cabal. Buhari is only raising their hope and that hope will be dashed.”

Fayose hired people to monitor Buhari in the UK – APC

APC Campaign Organsiation has accused Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State of hiring people  to stalk it’s Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari in London.
GMB who is reportedly in London for a working visit has been spotted by British Prime Minister, Tony Blair and some Nigerian Governors in the past few days.
Here’s a statement released by the  party and signed by Garba Shehu.

“Let it be on record that knowing Governor Fayose’s antecedents, we are not leaving anything to chances. ‎The Governor who has published death-wish advertorials on Buhari will stop at nothing. 

If anything should happen to General Muhammadu Buhari while in London or anywhere, the authorities over there in the UK and at home should know who to hold responsible.” APC wrote.‎

"Save Nigeria From Another Yar'Adua Experience"- Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has raised concerns over the short working visit of the All Progressives Congress party presidential candidate, Major General Muhammadu Buhari to the United Kingdom today.

The highly controversial politician did not only insist that Buhari was flown abroad for medical treatment, he also accused the APC kingpins of concealing his true health status and deceiving the general public.

A Statement from Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka reads thus,

“The truth is that Buhari travelled out today to seek medicare in USA. If the APC people are saying otherwise, let them publish the picture of Buhari boarding the plane and granting interview to Aviation Correspondents at the Abuja Airport.

“While I am happy that the APC people that are packaging Buhari finally hearkened to my plea that they should allow him (Buhari) to seek medicare abroad, I must say that it was evil for the APC to have lied that Buhari travelled on a working visit.

“These APC political merchants should say the truth and save Nigeria from the possibility of another Yar’Adua experience. They should tell Nigerians that Buhari is actually sick and lack capacity to rule Nigeria and that they are only packaging him, hoping that he will become incapacitated if he becomes president so that they can take over power by proxy. Like I have maintained, the north should wait till 2019 to produce ayounger, energetic and healthy president of Nigeria.”

Opinion: When will Fayose start governing Ekiti? | By: Bayo Olupounda

When will the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, stop talking and start performing the job he was elected to do by the good people of the state? Why must the controversial governor always want to “put his mouth” in everything that does not remotely concern him or the development of Ekiti State?

Is it a must that the governor must respond to every issue that has no direct relationship with his stewardship as a governor? Since his second coming after he won the governorship election when he defeated Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress, Fayose has been known to involve himself in mundane issues leading to awkward situations.

With his penchant for speaking on every issue, it appears that Fayose just enjoys listening to his own voice – even when his intervention does not make much sense. Sometimes, I wonder if the governor is running a one-man show in Ekiti.

Otherwise why can’t someone in his cabinet caution him and let him know there is work to be done? Why can’t someone let him know that his verbal haemorrhage is causing embarrassment to the great people of Ekiti State? Does the governor for once think that by talking people will respect him and his views?

Really, every time Fayose opens his mouth to release his verbal missiles, they cause concern and heat up the polity. Immediately after his election in August, the state was thrown into turmoil when his loyalists were alleged to have beaten up a judge adjudicating in a case that was to determine his eligibility.
Immediately after this, the governor was engaged in a long drawn media war with the opposition he had just defeated over how much the former governor left in the account of Ekiti State. Before the dust of the media war about the state’s debt profile could settle, Fayose was embroiled in another war of attrition with civil servants over payment of salaries.

Since then, the governor has been engaged in spats with almost everybody. He makes statements that portray him in uncomplimentary manner. Certainly, the image Fayose is creating in the eyes of the public is not the one expected from a governor.

The position of a governor is the one that should command awe and respect. Why then should Fayose always want to get into a fight all the time? The last time, it was the petrol station of an opponent that was sealed off. At another time, an attempt to impeach the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly led to violence.

While this piece is not in support of any of the parties in Ekiti State, Nigerians are all witnesses to the peaceful tenure of the last governor in the state. Not once did we hear of violence or threat of violence in Ekiti. Must government business be always controversial?

While it is also true that politics can bring disagreement among politicians and political parties, politicians must conduct their business with civility. The likes of Fayose must know that the youths of this country are watching their actions and utterances. They must thus lead by example and conduct their affairs peacefully and with respect for the people they govern.

The governor must not be seen to respond to every issue. If he must, then he should do it through the proper channel. He must make use of the line of communication and respond through his media aides through press conferences or releases that address issues rather than abuse and personal attacks.

A situation where the governor sounds off on every issue, abuses and attacks known and imaginary enemies diminishes his exalted position. It amounts to talking first without thinking. A few weeks ago, the governor took up a political advert in which he attacked the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari.

In the advert, he listed Nigeria’s former leaders from the North-West who either died naturally or were killed in military coups and admonished Nigerians not to elect Buhari because he reasoned he might suffer the same fate. The advert, which was in bad taste, was widely condemned by Nigerians. Even his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, also distanced itself from him.

Another source of embarrassment is the governor’s constant spats with former president Olusegun Obasanjo. Let’s even agree that the governor has a score to settle with the former President, I believe there are ways to engage without resorting to abuse and name-calling that have characterised public discourse.

While I believe Obasanjo to be the cause of our present travails as a nation, his years in power also witnessed so much brigandage that is now causing our country so many traumas. Yet, Fayose must refrain from crying more than the bereaved.

A situation where the governor has turned himself into the spokesperson for President Goodluck Jonathan while neglecting his own duties in Ekiti portrays him as a busybody. I want to advise him to let Jonathan fight his own battles. How does he sleep well at night with all the controversies he brings upon himself and still has time to govern?

I believe there are many issues in Ekiti begging for Fayose’s attention. The state needs him to improve their lives not through tokenism or propaganda but through enduring programmes and projects. Sometimes, I wonder if the governor realises he has just four years to make a difference. My advice is for him to thread softly. Enough of talking! It’s time to work for Ekiti.

Obasanjo's endorsement of Buhari, a political somersault – Fayose

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose who has been a vocal member of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign team has reacted to ex President, Olusegun Obasanjo’s recent endorsement of 
General Muhammadu Buhari.

He has described Obasanjo’s support for the ex- Military man as a political somersault and a suicidal mission. He also implored Nigerians to ignore him because of his penchant for deceiving people for his own political gains.

 “Leaving President Jonathan and vote for Buhari is like to abandon the road and enter the bush. God forbid we enter the forest which we may not come out for years. How can you follow somebody who because of old age is senile, but being propelled by his followers to fly the plane at all cost. Won’t that plane crash?” Fayose added.
