Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has congratulated Ayodele Fayose, former governor of Ekiti State, on his 65th birthday.

Wike described Fayose as a valuable friend and brother, praising his straightforwardness and consistency on political issues. In a congratulatory letter, signed by his spokesman Lere Olayinka, Wike emphasized Fayose’s significance in Nigerian politics and governance.

He wrote:

“That you have attained this age is no doubt a confirmation of the grace the Almighty God has bestowed on you, and a challenge for more service to our country, Nigeria.
No doubt, at 65, you have remained a reference point in politics and governance in Nigeria.
You are such a valuable friend and brother, who will never pretend about where he stands on issues.
Ayodele my younger brother, may you reach the age of your elder brother in good health, and may God continue to make your days on earth fruitful, with immeasurable blessings.
To a dependable ally, whose yes is yes, and no is no, happy Birthday.”

Wike’s message celebrates not only Fayose’s personal milestone but also his enduring influence and credibility in the Nigerian political landscape.
