I spent money campaigning for Obi, he never appreciated me - Isaac Fayose

Businessman Isaac Fayose has voiced his disappointment with Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the 2023 election, stating that Obi has never acknowledged his support.

“

Do you know how much I spent on the last election? Do you know how much I spent on your Obi? I even gave you people my hotel. I even came to the protest.

Fayose claimed he made significant personal sacrifices for Obi's campaign, including providing his hotel and participating in protests. "Do you know how much I spent on the last election? Do you know how much I spent on your Obi? I even gave you people my hotel. I even came to the protest," he said in a video.

“

Seyi is a good boy. He removed his cap and appreciated me. Has Obi come to greet me since I started campaigning? Has Obi come to say thank you? Did you people send me the work?

He lamented that despite his backing for the "Obidient movement," Obi has not reached out to express gratitude. Fayose contrasted this with Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, who he said "removed his cap and appreciated me." Fayose also criticized supporters of the Obidient movement, accusing them of waiting for others to "liberate you when you can liberate yourselves."

“

You people are not even worth it. You are there waiting for my own people to liberate you when you can liberate yourselves.

Fayose, who identifies as Yoruba and expresses admiration for President Tinubu and his son, stated that his relationship with Seyi Tinubu does not alter his political allegiance. He mentioned discussing politics and other matters with Seyi Tinubu and socialite Cubana Chief Priest, and that Seyi Tinubu walked him to his car and they prayed together. Fayose asserted that praying for the president should not be misconstrued as joining the ruling All Progressives Congress.

I am a Yoruba man. I love Tinubu with all my heart and I love Seyi Tinubu. He is a good guy.
