Nigerian businessman and social commentator Isaac Fayose has addressed the criticism he received after a video of him praying for President Bola Tinubu sparked reactions online.
Fayose, who supported Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi during the 2023 general election, said he was disappointed by the backlash that followed the video.
Addressing the controversy, Fayose questioned why some people were unhappy with his interaction with members of the Tinubu family, stating that supporting a different political figure should not attract criticism.
He disclosed that he invested significantly in Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign but claimed that his efforts have not been appreciated.
“I can withdraw my support for Peter Obi. Do you people know how much I spent on Peter Obi’s 2023 campaign? I met Seyi Tinubu, and people started complaining. Has Peter Obi ever appreciated me?”
Fayose added that he has the freedom to support President Tinubu if he chooses, emphasizing that his political decisions are based on his personal convictions and not pressure from others.
“If I want, I can start campaigning for President Tinubu. I’m a Yoruba man, and I love President Tinubu and his son.”
The businessman maintained that people should respect his political choices, noting that individuals have the right to change their positions and support different leaders at any point.
