Isaac Fayose vs Obidients

Fayose said his relatives and associates had questioned him on his usage of social media, especially as dozens of insults were directed at him during the electioneering and after the 2023 general elections.

Legit.ng reports that although Fayose openly canvassed for the southern presidency, he was involved in several clashes with Obidients online.

Following the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the president and his subsequent inauguration on Monday, May 29, Fayose declared that his social media page is for Nigeria and the new leader only.

He advised those who are unhappy with the development to unfollow him.
