AMIDST MOJI OLAIYA’S DEATH DRAMA, GOVERNOR AYO FAYOSE GIFTS BROTHER, ISAAC, A HUMMER SUV
You hardly ever see Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti coming, literally. The gangling, brashtalking governor took the wind out of many people’s sail when he decided to gift his younger brother, Isaac, a Hummer ‘ truck’. The ‘ surprise’ gift was reportedly given to Isaac by his governorbrother as his birthday gift. “He just got a call to go pick the car from the Governor’s residence in Iyaganku ( Ibadan),” a source alleged. The elated beneficiary has been celebrating the newest addition to his fleet, like he does his brother’s ‘ achievements’ and activities on his Facebook page. While it is not out of place to get a gift from one’s brother, Governor Fayose and his siblings, especially Isaac, have never been cordial. Barely a year ago, Isaac, a motley businessman who claims to be ‘ the first African man to get a phone dealership license via Umbrella Communications in the whole of Ireland with two branches in Dublin city at the age of 23 and as an asylum seeker’, took his brother to the cleaners
with a scathing open letter where he accused him of among other things, abandoning his family, notably, their sister, Bimpe, who passed on some years ago. He wrote, “Gov. Fayose can rush to the media houses to place front page adverts of death wish for Buhari but cannot remember to place a quarter page advert in remembrance of his sister, Bimpe Sorinolu, who died of cancer exactly two years ago today. Shame!” The long- drawn battle of the Fayose siblings is very well documented. However, well- meaning individuals have mediated and they are chummy again. The Hummer Truck, many believe, is one of the dividends of their newfound cordiality.
