Isaac Fayose has advised his elder brother, former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, to reject his newly announced appointment as chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) board, insisting the position does not match his political profile.
In a video shared on his Instagram page on Monday, Isaac said the former governor should instead hand the appointment to one of his sons, maintaining that someone of his brother’s stature deserved a higher federal office.
His reaction followed the Presidency’s announcement naming Ayo Fayose among 26 appointees to the boards of 10 federal agencies and commissions.
According to a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Ayo Fayose was appointed chairman of the REA board. He will serve alongside Ahmadu Abubakar and Ilyasu Ibrahim Makinta as non-executive directors, while the agency’s Director-General, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, and three executive directors were retained.
Reacting to the appointment, Isaac argued that his brother merited a more prominent position in government.
