VIDEO: Isaac Fayose knocks residents seeking money to vote in Ekiti election

Businessman and social commentator Isaac Fayose has publicly criticized some residents of Ekiti State for allegedly demanding money in exchange for their votes in the upcoming governorship election. Fayose expressed his frustration in a video shared on X, detailing messages he received from individuals seeking financial compensation before casting their ballots.

Fayose urged the residents to consider their own interests and vote wisely, rather than expecting financial incentives. He stated, "I’m living a good life; it’s you that is suffering. Look at how I’m enjoying my breakfast this morning." He advised voters to "vote them out" if they are dissatisfied with the current governance, emphasizing that their vote should reflect their genuine interests.

Comments from users like #stylishnene and #Tetulatony highlighted concerns about persistent begging and the need for citizens to take action rather than relying on inducements.
