Isaac Fayose, a social and political commentator, claims that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and his brother, former Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose, must be held responsible for the decline of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Fayose made this assertion in a no-holds-barred interview on the Mic On Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye.

According to him, both men, along with other political chieftains, have collaborated to weaken the fortunes of the largest opposition party in the state 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."

"What kind of rock? Even I am a mountain. Don’t forget, we came from the same womb—same father, same mother. I am a rock myself. So, rock versus rock."

Fayose, who was an ally of Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate, also recounted the extent of his support for the Anambra State governor in the 2023 elections. He noted that while he helped Obi secure key areas in Lagos, the ongoing infighting within the Labour Party might have diminished its chances ahead of 2027.

"I’m not a politician, but I was with Obi, and we won Lagos. I won my polling unit in Lekki Phase 1. We won the entire Lekki, Okun Aja, Ibeju-Lekki, Ikoyi—come on, it wasn’t just about the name."

"No, Labour Party no longer exists. Labour was just a vehicle we used in 2023. Now, all our House of Representatives members and senators are defecting. So, as far as they are concerned, Labour is dead. Labour and PDP—same fate. Nigeria is now a one-party state. One chance. Straight. Wow. Courtesy of Wike, my brother, and others."
