Fayose Rages at Obidients Over Seyi Tinubu Meeting
Isaac Fayose has unleashed a fiery rant against supporters of Peter Obi, known as Obidients, after they criticized him for meeting with Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu. In a video posted to Instagram on July 16, 2026, Fayose did not hold back, expressing his frustration at those who questioned his loyalty to Obi simply because he shared a cordial moment with the president's son.
Seyi Tinubu had reportedly removed his cap and knelt in greeting, saying "Egbon," and Fayose praised the gesture as a sign of good character. However, what clearly stung Fayose most was what he described as a lack of acknowledgement from Obi himself.
Fayose Questions Peter Obi's Gratitude
Fayose recalled investing heavily in the Labour Party presidential candidate's 2023 campaign, including leaving his hotel in Ibadan open for supporters and taking part in protests. Despite all of that, he said Obi had never come to greet him or say thank you. "Has Obi come to say thank you? Has Obi come to greet me?" he asked, his frustration evident throughout the video.
Fayose made clear that his political allegiance is not unconditional. He reminded critics that as a Yoruba man, he has every right to support and campaign for whoever he chooses, including Tinubu. He told Obidients directly that they were "not worth it" and warned that he could pull his backing from Obi entirely if pushed further.
