Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, criticizes President Bola Tinubu’s recent appointment naming Ayodele Fayose as Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA). In videos posted on Facebook, Isaac Fayose questions the timing and motive for the appointment, saying it follows closely after Peter Obi’s recent visit to his brother. He argues that the appointment appears to be linked to Obi and points to how quickly the federal government acted after that visit. Isaac also urges his elder brother to consider whether to accept the role, suggesting his brother had previously indicated reluctance to take positions such as senator, minister, or director-general after leaving office as governor. The reports note that Tinubu also appoints Ayodele Fayose alongside other individuals to leadership roles in federal agencies. Isaac Fayose adds that the appointment is not a more senior position such as minister or ambassador, and says even individuals without governor experience have previously received ambassadorial posts. The developments occur amid broader political activity involving Peter Obi and the NDC as attention turns to future elections.

8 hours agoIsaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s appointment of his elder brother as Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA). In a video posted on his Facebook page on Monday, Isaac Fayose questioned the timing and motive behind the appointment, claiming it was a reaction to Peter Obi’s recent visit to his brother. President Tinubu had on Monday appointed Ayodele Fayose as chairman of the REA alongside 25 others into various federal government agencies. Reacting to the development, Isaac Fayose said: “Just days after Mr Peter Obi visited me, they appointed my brother as a DG. Why didn’t they give him the appointment all these while?” He further noted that his brother was not offered a higher position such as minister or ambassador, adding, “Even Reno Omokri, who was never a governor, was appointed an ambassador.” Isaac Fayose recalled that his brother had previously told him he would not take up positions like senator, minister, or DG after leaving office as governor. He however added, “I know he may not accept the appointment, but if he does, who am I to question him.” The appointment comes amid ongoing political realignments and conversations ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Peter Obi and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) actively engaging political figures across the country.
