“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. Nigerians should stop electing criminals”
The patriarch of the Fayose family noted that members of the family are not happy with the way the governor usually engages in controversial issues with other people, particularly, the elders.
His words: “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. Nigerians should stop electing criminals.
“I don’t have relationship with any of our leaders because of their criminality and anybody who says I collected money from opposition should step forward to challenge me. Ekiti and Nigeria are bigger than Fayose’s name and both names should be protected.
“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 entire Fayose’s families are rude but it is far from the truth. 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.
“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 Ekiti governorship election. If all I am saying is not true, all my six children should die and I should end up in shame.
“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 ambassador of our family,”
