In a video posted to his verified Facebook page, Fayose denied the allegations, claiming they were fabricated to damage his reputation. Daily Post Nigeria reports that Fayose believes he is being targeted because of his continued support for the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, and his refusal to accept offers from the All Progressives Congress. Fayose stated he is ready to take legal action if necessary and cited Eedris Abdulkareem and Tumma as others who have faced similar treatment.
