Isaac Fayose Critiques Ethnic Support for Tinubu

Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, criticized the ethnic support for President Bola Tinubu's reelection in the upcoming 2027 general elections. In a post on his official Facebook page, Fayose stated that hunger does not recognize tribal affiliations and questioned the rationale behind supporting Tinubu based on tribal lines while many Nigerians face economic hardship, rising fuel prices, and insecurity.

He asserted that leadership should be evaluated based on results rather than ethnicity, expressing concern over Yoruba individuals referring to Tinubu as "our own, our president, our son" during a time of widespread struggle among citizens. Fayose warned that prioritizing tribal loyalty over the welfare of the populace poses a significant threat to the country's future.

His comments come amid increasing discussions surrounding the Tinubu administration and the forthcoming elections.
