EXCLUSIVE Ayo Fayose: I never wanted to reconcile with Obasanjo - AF24NEWS FULL INTERVIEW

AF24NEWS sits down for an unfiltered, no-holds-barred conversation with former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose — one of Nigeria’s most outspoken and controversial political figures.
In this exclusive one-hour interview, Fayose opens up about everything: his political battles, reconciliations, family controversies, PDP’s crisis, and what he believes 2027 will look like.

From his turbulent relationship with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, to the public criticisms from his own brother, to his blunt verdict on the current state of the PDP — this is Fayose like you’ve never seen him before.

We asked him the questions Nigerians are actually talking about.

🔥 Highlights from this interview include:
His aborted reconciliation Olusegun Obasanjo after years of hostility.
Why he believes the PDP is in a comatose state and “beyond redemption” unless drastic action is taken.
His reaction to the Umar Damagum suspension and what he expects from the new PDP leadership.
His assessment of the Bola Tinubu administration, the economy, and the direction of the country.
Whether he plans a political comeback or “kingmaker” role ahead of 2027.
His reflections on his time as governor, his early struggles, and what shaped him.
His response to family controversies, including his brother Isaac’s claims that he ignored family, never invited his mother to his 65th birthday, and “betrayed those who helped him rise.”
His message to young Nigerians and how he wants to be remembered.
