‘You’re a Pig for attacking Obasanjo’ – Isaac Fayose slams Brother

A fresh twist has emerged in the public spat between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, as the ex-governor’s younger brother, Isaac Fayose, openly condemned him, describing him as “a pig who will forever remain a pig.”

Isaac took to his Instagram page to distance himself from Ayo Fayose’s outburst against Obasanjo, following the former president’s remarks at Ayo’s 65th birthday celebration.

Posting a short but scathing comment, Isaac wrote: “A pig will forever remain a pig irrespective of the garlands you dress him in.”

He accompanied the post with the press statement in which his elder brother harshly criticised Obasanjo.

Ayo Fayose had earlier stirred controversy after sending a blistering SMS to the former president, accusing him of being “irresponsible” and claiming he “belongs in the zoo.”

The message, which was made public by Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, accused the former president of losing his sanity and suffering from “heightened dementia.”

In the SMS, Fayose wrote: “Someone once said you are supposed to be kept away in the zoo. Sincerely that’s where you belong.”

He also demanded the return of money he claimed Obasanjo had acknowledged receiving, adding that he chose not to reply at the birthday venue so the public could “see the difference between a sane and a mad man.”

Obasanjo, in a brief and sharp response, thanked Fayose for the message, saying it revealed “who and what you are, unchanged and unchangeable.”

He added that the money Fayose referred to had been returned through the same person who brought it, “unopened.”

Isaac’s condemnation of his own brother has added a dramatic family dimension to an already heated political exchange.

His post has attracted a wave of reactions online, with many users expressing shock at the open confrontation between the two brothers.
