Ayo Fayose : He’s embarrassing our family,’ Governor’s brother says

The older brother of Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose
has said that the latter is an embarrassment to the family.
Segun Fayose also pleaded with his brother to stop
bringing their father’s name into disrepute.
The older Fayose, who works as an accountant in the
UK, reportedly made the statements while speaking to
reporters from The Nation in Ibadan, Oyo State.
“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,” he said
“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,” he added.
Segun Fayose also said that he had urged the governor to
desist from his shameful behavior but to no avail.
“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,” the governor’s brother
said.
“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,” he added.
The older Fayose also said that he had urged people not
to elect his brother into office.
“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,” he said.
“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 added.
Governor Fayose had earlier described All Progressives
Congress (APC) candidate, Muhammadu Buhari as
“diaper-wearing” and also stated that Ex-President,
Olusegun Obasanjo ’s exit from the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) was good riddance to bad rubbish.
