Businessman Isaac Fayose says his support for Peter Obi has made him a target of attacks.
Fayose said this on Sunday in a video he shared on his verified Facebook page.
The video was his response to a post by an unknown blogger who linked him to a rape claim.
Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, denied the claim, saying it was cooked up to spoil his name because he refused to dump the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi.
According to Fayose, this is what happens when a person turns down offers from the All Progressives Congress, APC, stating that the party will then join forces to pull the person down.
“Whenever APC tries to get you with offers, and you refuse, they may gang up against you and try to destroy your reputation. I will continue to support Peter Obi no matter what. Eedris Abdulkareem faced it before, then Tumma, and now this. I am ready, and I will take legal action if necessary,” Fayose said.
He said he is not the first person to face such treatment, listing Eedris Abdulkareem and Tumma as people who went through the same thing before him.
Fayose said he will not back down. He said he will stand by Obi and is ready to go to court if necessary.
