‘Airport is filled up, Governors, Senators, Rep Members and Ministers traveling abroad because of protest’ — Fayose
The brother to former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, Isaac Fayose, has raised an alarm over a mass exodus of top Nigerian politicians outside the country.
This followed the news of a nationwide protest due to bad governance.
In the viral video on social media, which NewsWeek Nigeria obtained, Fayose blasted the mass exodus of governors, senators, and other big guns. According to him, this is in reaction to the impending demonstrations.
“House of Representatives members, senators, governors, and ministers are all traveling abroad suddenly because of the protest,” Fayose said in the video.
Angry Nigerian youths and activists have vowed to continue the protest, which had been organized to express deep-seated dissatisfaction with the current state of governance in Nigeria. The movement has gone rampant on social media, many citizens voicing their support for the cause.

The provocation of public anger is further done by statements from Fayose, as most Nigerians see the move as an action by the politicians to run away from accountability. The situation at the airport was in a snarl, with activities heightened by officials who were rushed to leave the country.
