Ayo Fayose is disgracing the Fayose family name says elder brother.

Ayo Fayose, the Ekiti state governor, is disgracing the Fayose family name says Segun Fayose, a United Kingdom-based accountant and the eldest brother of the governor.

Segun Fayose has told his younger brother, Ayo Fayose to be careful about remarks that can discredit the Fayose family name

According to Osun Defender, Segun has appealed to the governor to stop embarrassing the family.

Segun commented on their father saying he was a gentle pastor, who built and sustained a good name for the family, before joining his ancestors.

He said rather than sustaining the good name which he inherited, the governor has been embarrassing other Fayoses with the way he insults elders like former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen Muhammadu Buhari.

Emphasising that their father died with contentment, the elder Fayose said the family was known in Ekiti for its sound character found in every omoluabi.

He also described Chief Obasanjo as Ayo Fayose’s benefactor.

Segun said: “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.

“I don’t have a relationship with any of our leaders because of their criminality and anybody who says I collected money from the 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 Fayose family is 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 the Ekiti governorship election. If all I am saying is not true, 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 an ambassador of our family.”

Fayose is also under severe pressure due to his role in the 2014 Ekiti gubernetorial elections which are generally perceived to have been rigged and those perceptionss have been strengthened by  the release of the Ekiti rigging tape by Sergent Koli.
