I do not wish Wike dead – Isaac Fayose Denies sentiment, Sends Prayers Instead

Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose, has clarified that he never wished the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, dead.

Speaking in a Facebook video, Fayose said his recent inquiry about Wike’s whereabouts was out of concern, not malice. He emphasized that he prays for the minister’s good health so he can continue his work in the FCT.

His statement comes after reports claimed Wike suffered a heart attack in London, a claim the minister strongly denied, warning that he would personally sign condolence letters for those wishing him dead.

Fayose distanced himself from such sentiments, stressing that those spreading death wishes represent opposition to Wike, not his own position.

He said: “I don’t wish Wike dead, why will I wish him dead? Someone that is working in Abuja? I want him to finish the good work he has started in Abuja. In fact, I’m one of the people praying for Wike.

“And I’m not in support of Sowore calling our president that kind of name, no you can’t call our president that because he is the president. No, I’m not in support of that and I don’t wish Wike dead.

“But leaders must have this thing at the back of their mind that whatever the people are saying about them is their true state of mind.

“I don’t wish Wike dead, I enjoy what he is doing in Abuja and I want him to continue, I wish him good health.

When I asked where Wike is, that doesn’t mean that I wish him dead, it’s the rumour that we are hearing that made me ask.”

President Tinubu is very tolerant, rule of law under Tinubu is 100 percent, he doesn’t bully anybody. Can you call Obasanjo a criminal when he was there?” He asked.
