Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has denied
allegations and claims which he deems as the ploy of
detractors to mar the name of his prestigious family.
Governor Fayose has denied all claims against his family,
labeling them as ploys by detractors.
The outspoken governor took to socio-media to set the
records straight regarding certain information that has
been misconstrued.
Following rumours that his wife was spotted in Dubai on
Friday, January 22, the governor who has vehemently
denied media reports that he is one of 15 politicians who
own properties in Dubai, said his wife had no business in
the UAE that day.
Governor Fayose went on to name the media house which
allegedly started the rumours, debating that they were
lying and giving photo evidence of his wife’s whereabouts,
as of the time in question.

According to Fayose’s tweets the media house (Sahara
Reporters News) whose claims he said were unfounded,
also went on to say that the governor’s son was arrested
in Dubai, hence the reason his wife had to stop over.
Governor Fayose, however, said that in an attempt for his
detractors to get back at him, they said he had a house in
Dubai and after that claim did not hold water, they went
on to spread rumours of his son’s alleged arrest.

Someone whom they claimed was arrested since last
week has not been charged to court in Dubai. Do they
think UAE is like Nigeria? — Peter Ayodele Fayose

They don’t even know that they are indicting their govt
security agencies. Or how could my son have passed
thru the airport with N500m cash? — Peter Ayodele

Finally, my son, Oluwajomiloju was never arrested
anywhere. He is in Lagos living his life and making his
own living.

Meanwhile, there was a mix-up regarding the media-house
which actually published the controversial stories, as
Sahara Reporters replied Fayose’s tweets, saying they had
no hand in peddling the rumours.
