Isaac Fayose, a social commentator and younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, responds to public backlash after a viral video of him praying with Seyi Tinubu. In a statement posted on Facebook, Fayose says he can change his political stance and “withdraw” his support for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, if he decides to do so. He links the issue to his involvement in Obi’s 2023 campaign, saying he spent money and personally supported Obi’s efforts, and claims critics’ reaction follows his meeting with Seyi Tinubu and other supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Fayose also states that he admires President Bola Tinubu and Seyi Tinubu, adding that he is free to back any candidate and that his support should not be treated as fixed. The comments come after he previously said that meeting Seyi Tinubu did not mean he had abandoned Peter Obi. The outlets report that his remarks are directed at people criticising his engagement with APC figures ahead of the 2027 political season.
