If he had a second shot at life, social and political commentator Isaac Fayose says he would want to be related to the Tinubu, Wike, Makinde, or Adeboye family.

His comment further deepens the rift with his elder brother, former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose, whom he criticized during an interview on the Mic On Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye.

In his latest remarks about his family, the entrepreneur stated that if given another chance at life, he would prefer to be related to other prominent Nigerian families instead of his brother.

"When I come back to this world, I want to be President Tinubu's junior brother—yes, or Wike's junior brother, or Seyi Makinde's junior brother. I don't want to go back to Ekiti. I want to be President Tinubu's junior brother when I come back to this world. Or better still, I want to be Baba Adeboye's junior brother or son," he said in a post on his Instagram page.

During his interview with Seun Okinbaloye, he spoke about his strained relationship with his brother, revealing that they hold opposing political views.

He further blamed the former governor, along with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, for the challenges that have plagued the party in recent times.

According to him, both men, along with other political leaders, have conspired to weaken the prospects of Nigeria’s largest opposition party ahead of the 2026 governorship elections.

Questioning his brother’s loyalty, he wondered why Ayo Fayose would align closely with the APC despite being regarded as one of the major political figures in Ekiti State.

He said: "Okay, what is left of PDP now? PDP is empty. It’s Wike and my brother. Look at what my brother is doing to PDP in Ekiti. PDP in Ekiti is like a carcass now. In the next election, I’m sure they will have about three or four candidates, and they will all end up in court."

"As of today, my brother is the only major PDP leader in Ekiti, so how can the state’s key PDP leader now be supporting an APC candidate?"

"People are looking up to you. If you’re the CEO of a company, everyone follows your lead. But when the CEO starts giving off a different body language—when we are supposed to be going right, and he takes us left—come on, we don’t need an oracle to tell us he’s trying to weaken PDP for APC to thrive."
