Birthday Message: Isaac Fayose Lambasts Elder Brother, Ex-Governor Ayo Fayose For Betraying Family Including Mum, Condemns ‘Spirit Of Selfishness’

Isaac recalled how their late sister, Mrs. Bimpe Shorinolu, sacrificed her personal property in Lagos in support of Fayose’s political ambition two decades ago.

In a social media message that has gone viral, Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Peter Fayose, who turned 65 years, has accused the ex-governor of betraying everyone who helped him to rise to power, including his family members.

In a birthday video shared on his Facebook account, Isaac Fayose congratulated his brother on turning 65 but wasted no time highlighting what he described as Ayodele Fayose’s “spirit of selfishness” and disregard for those who stood by him.

“A birthday message to my brother Ayodele Peter Fayose at 65. 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,” he said.

Isaac recalled how their late sister, Mrs. Bimpe Shorinolu, sacrificed her personal property in Lagos in support of Fayose’s political ambition two decades ago.

“I remember in 2002, my sister Bimpe Shorinolu sold her land in Maryland, Lagos for you to buy the PDP ticket when you didn’t have money anymore. She sold that land to raise N3 million to help you get the ticket,” he said.

Despite those sacrifices, Isaac alleges that his elder brother has turned his back on everyone — including his own family.

“You betrayed everybody that has helped you in life to be where you are today. You had your birthday yesterday, and none of your siblings from your mother’s side were there — not even your mother. They didn’t invite her; they believe your mother is ‘a pain in the ass’,” he said.

Isaac Fayose further accused the former governor of abandoning his political allies, especially those in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a party he once led in Ekiti State.

“The party that gave you ticket twice to be governor, you betrayed them. You betrayed your political family in Ekiti, your siblings, your mother, even our late sisters,” he said.

He expressed disappointment in how Ayodele Fayose conducts himself compared to families like the Adelekes, Orji Uzor Kalus, and the Yar’aduas, whom he described as being united.

“Look at the Adeleke family, look at Orji Uzor Kalu’s family, look at the Yar’adua family — they stood together, they grew together, they moved together. But you believe once you are okay, every other person can go,” Isac lamented.

Expressing both hurt and hope, Isaac said his criticism does not stem from bitterness but from a desire for his brother to change.

“We are not bitter. We are still praying for you. We wish you well. You are not our breadwinner. We are all doing well on our own level. But we want to tell you to turn a new leaf.”
