Businessman Isaac Fayose has alleged that his support for Peter Obi has made him a target of attacks, following a rape allegation circulated by an unidentified blogger.
Fayose made the claim on Sunday in a video shared on his verified Facebook page, where he denied the allegation and described it as an attempt to damage his reputation.
The businessman, who is the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, claimed the allegation was fabricated because of his refusal to abandon Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
He alleged that individuals who reject offers from the All Progressives Congress (APC) could face coordinated attempts to discredit them.
“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 further mentioned musician Eedris Abdulkareem and Tumma as individuals he believed had experienced similar treatment.
Fayose maintained that he would not withdraw his support for Obi, adding that he was prepared to pursue legal action over the allegation if necessary.
