Paul Ibe, media aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has fired back at former Ekiti State Governor Ayọdele Fayọșe over his 48-hour ultimatum concerning an alleged meeting in Minna involving Atiku and Oyo State Governor Ṣeyi Makinde.
Fayọșe had earlier demanded that Atiku publicly disown a statement he claimed emanated from the former Vice President’s camp, warning that failure to do so within 48 hours would compel him to “spill more beans” about what transpired at the Minna meeting, including alleged remarks about Nyesom Wike.
Responding sharply, Ibe clarified that the statement Fayọṣe referenced was not authored by him but by Ambassador Phrank Shaibu. He said Fayọṣe appeared unable to distinguish between the two, noting that the document clearly carried its author’s identity.
Ibe also mocked the 48-hour deadline, describing it as excessive, and in a sarcastic tone questioned whether Fayọṣe may have been influenced by what he termed “aged beverages” when making his assertions. He further stated that he did not require “the services of a witchdoctor” to speculate on the origin of Fayọșe’s remarks.
The exchange underscores rising tensions among key political actors amid ongoing speculation surrounding strategic consultations and alignments ahead of future political realignments.
As of press time, Fayọṣe has not issued a further response to Ibe’s remarks.
Full Text of Paul Ibe’s Response:
I am not disappointed with one Peter Ayodele Fayose for his inability to make a distinction between Ambassador Phrank Shaibu and my humble self (Paul Ibe).
Sir, if indeed you read the statement titled “Peter Ayodele Fayose’s Beer Parlour Tales Of Infamy”, you would have seen that it was actually authored by Amb. Shuaibu and not Ibe. Is it possible that you may have been under the influence of some beverages when you read it? This only confirms that your tales are truly motivated by some aged beverages.
Haba, is 48 hours not too long?
Well, since you mentioned your oga in your ill-advised tweet, I do not need the services of a witchdoctor to hazard a guess as to where you get your supplies from.
Is it the 40-year-old Whiskey or you took a more aged version that needs more than 48 hours to “clear” from your eyes?
While I sympathise with your condition, I urge you to revert to me if you regain your sanity earlier than your projected recovery time of 48 hours.
