“You have betrayed all those who helped you in life, including our only sister who sold her land in Lagos to enable you buy Governorship form”
By Adesina Soyooye
It has been confirmed that former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, did not extend an invite to his younger brother, Isaac, to his high profile 65th birthday celebration in Lagos.
However, it did not stop Isaac, an activist, businessman, politician, social media influencer, from extending birthday wishes to his elder brother, former -Governor of Ekiti State.
But what a birthday wish it was. What a toxic wish, obviously, not the type of wishes one expects on one’s birthday, especially, from a sibling.
Isaac Fayose began by dismissing his brother as a serial betrayer, selfish with no scruples. He said his former Governor-brother even condescended to betraying their own sister, the now late Bimpe Shireolu, who sacrificed and contributed to his becoming a Governor.
Their sister, Mrs Shoreolu, he disclosed, sold her land to purchase the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) governorship ticket for Fayose in 2002. He also accused his brother of selfishness and of, also, betraying the Peoples Democratic Party.
Isaac Fayose wrote:
“A birthday message to my brother, Ayodele Fayose: Happy 65th birthday. May God bless your new age. I pray as you enter this new age, the spirit of selfishness in you will disappear and
you can be a good man and turn a new leaf.
“You betrayed everybody that have been there for you.
“I remember 23 years ago. In 2002, my sister, late Bimpe Shoreolu, sold her land in Maryland in Lagos for you to buy PDP ticket when you didn’t have money anymore. N3 million. She sold her land to give you the three million to go and pay PDP to get the ticket.
“Everybody that helped you in life to be where you are today, you betrayed everybody.”
He, also disclosed that not one of the former Governor’s siblings Ayodele’s siblings from same mother was present during his birthday.
According to Isaac the former Ekiti governor did not invite his mother.
He urged his brother to learn from the oneness in renowned families like the Adelekes, Yar’Aduas, and Uzor Kalus. They are together, he noted.
Accusing the former Governor of betraying the PDP, Isaac said:
“All your PDP political family in Ekiti, you betrayed everybody. You betrayed everybody. You betrayed your siblings. You betrayed your mother. You betrayed even our late sister.
“My brother, life is not about being relevant all the time. Look at Adeleke family, look at Orji Uzor Kalu family, look at Yar’Adua family. They stood together. They grow together. They move together.
“But you believe once you are okay, everyother person can go. Even late Buruji Kashamu that gave you close to N2 blllion for your second term election, you betrayed the guy immediately you got to power.
“Even Arthur Eze that gave you about $3 million for your election, you have not been there to say thank you. My brother, selfishness is a sin.
“As you have turned 65, I hope and believe you will turn a new leaf and change from being selfish.
“I know people will say why is he talking to his brother like this? If you have a brother that has done what he has done to us,, you will be very sad and more bitter than us.”
