Ayodele Fayose, the former governor of Ekiti State, has reacted strongly to a statement from Paul Ibe, a media adviser to Atiku Abubakar, who previously served as vice president. This statement pertained to a meeting in Minna involving Atiku and Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State.

In a post on his X handle, Fayose said, “I saw the response of one Paul Ibe, one of the media aides to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to my release on what transpired at his meeting in Minna with Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, and I can’t but be amused.”

He added, “However, because of my respect for Atiku, I will want to assume that he did not authorise the press statement and I will expect that after seeing it, he will within 48 hours, cause a rebuttal to be issued on it.”

Fayose further warned, “Should Atiku not publicly disown the statement within the next 48 hours, I will have no option but to spill more beans (the facilitators and executioners) of the Minna meeting, particularly what was said about Wike, and by then, I will be doing so without any atom of respect for him.”

He ended with a mysterious remark: “Till then, we keep our gunpowder dry.” This implied that if his warning is ignored, further disclosures could come.

In the meantime, Atiku Abubakar’s former vice-presidential office has rejected a recently circulated publication attributed to Fayose, calling it a “reckless and malicious fabrication.”

Atiku’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, described the article “Between Atiku and Makinde, Untold Story of What Happened in Minna Yesterday” as “a shameless concoction a tissue of lies stitched together by a serial purveyor of political gossip.”
