Prominent businessman Isaac Fayose has alleged that his brother, former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose, was the primary force behind Seyi Makinde becoming the governor of Oyo State in 2019. This statement comes amidst an ongoing public feud between the two politicians.
Sharing his account on Facebook, Isaac Fayose described his direct involvement in the political strategies used to secure Makinde’s win. He reminisced about planning meetings held at his Ibadan resort, specifically mentioning the attendance of Victor Enahoro, the son of Anthony Enahoro. According to Isaac, he personally appealed to his brother to support Makinde’s candidacy, a request the former governor ultimately honored.
Isaac Fayose stated he remains neutral in the dispute but felt compelled to speak on the historical context of their relationship. He urged Governor Makinde to apologize for allegedly sidelining his brother after benefiting from his support. This public intervention follows Ayo Fayose’s recent vow to challenge the current administration in the 2027 elections.
