I’m now alone, Isaac Fayose laments abandonment by politicians he supported

Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has expressed his disappointment and isolation after being abandoned by the politicians he once supported. In a video posted on his Instagram account, Isaac lamented that he now feels like "a lonely voice in the wilderness" due to the personal and financial sacrifices he made for figures who later turned their backs on him.

He spoke of his struggle during the 2018 EFCC scandal involving his brother and how he confronted then acting EFCC chairman Ibrahim Magu, even following him to the commission. Despite the victory of his brother, Kayode Fayemi, in the 2018 governorship election, Isaac continues to face legal issues related to the case. He also expressed his personal sacrifices, including cutting his mourning short to help Wole Oluyede, a PDP candidate for the 2026 Ekiti governorship election, whose campaign has been tumultuous.

Isaac further criticized the political culture of vote-selling and the betrayal of his loyalty by those he supported, including Osun State Governor Adeleke, who showed him his certificate of return to President Tinubu after the 2026 election.
