Isaac Fayose, younger brother to former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, has taken a direct swipe at his sibling, questioning his relevance and influence in Ekiti Politics and within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2026 governorship election in the state.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on Sunday, Isaac reacted to Ayo Fayose’s recent show of support for the current administration in Ekiti State, criticizing what he described as misplaced loyalty and failed leadership.
“I saw my brother’s video where he was sending out loads of branded T-shirts and declaring that PDP will come fourth in Ekiti. But let me remind him—when you were still in PDP during the last election, the party came third. That says a lot about your current electoral value,” Isaac stated.
He accused the former governor of losing goodwill among party members and the general public due to what he termed “betrayals and a divisive style of politics.”
“People no longer follow you because they don’t trust your political methods. You say PDP will not rise again, but you were there when it collapsed to third place. That decline happened under your watch,” Isaac queried.
On the performance of the current administration under the leadership of Governor Oyebanji, Isaac said the Governor had failed the people of Ekiti, pointing to worsening roads and deepening poverty across the state.
“None of you—former governors or political bigwigs—has spoken up about the terrible state of our roads or the suffering of the people. Yet you’re all coming together to push a second-term agenda?”
He concluded by daring his brother and others to advocate for a free, fair, and credible election, insisting that the incumbent would struggle to secure 30% of the votes in such a scenario.
“Tell Mr. President to allow a free and fair election—no vote buying, no selection. Oyebanji won’t get 30% of the votes. I come in peace, but my brother (Fayose), with all due respect, respect yourself so others in the party can still respect you.”
