Isaac Fayose who is the younger brother of the former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has put out an open warning to Nigerians against voting for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar whom he alleges is trying to Islamise Nigeria.
Fayose had also made some allegations that Atiku Abubakar would be pushing the Fulanisation agenda of Nigeria if he is elected president in 2023.

In a Facebook post, Fayose alleged that Atiku would force Fulani settlement in all the local government areas of Southern Nigeria.
According to Fayose, Atiku would install Fulani Emirs in the Southern part of the country.
“Atiku will force Fulani settlement in all LGAs of Southern Nigeria. Install Fulani Emirs!” Fayose wrote.
The incumbent Nigerian leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, is of Fulani extraction; and had been accused of trying to Islamize and Fulanize Nigeria.
In another similar report, the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom yesterday technically withdrew his support for the Presidential aspirations of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Africa Today News, New York reports that Ortom on Tuesday accused Atiku of denigrating him as governor and working against the interest of the people of Benue State which he governs.
The Benue State governor who was ostensibly angered by Atiku’s comments on the recent killings by suspected herdsmen in his state made comments that the former Vice President will not like.
Africa Today News, New York recalls that Atiku appeared to have justified the recent killings in Benue State by Fulani herders when he said that the condemnable acts were due to ‘sustained clashes between farmers and herders.’
His comments are coming on the heels of the elder statesmen in Benue, Minda Leaders of Thoughts’, withdrawal of support for Atiku, accusing him of hate speech and profiling of Benue people.
