Fayose will always have one thing or another’s to keep him in the news. He dissolved his cabinet, goodluck to him! Anything he likes he should’ve be doing.

The boss has stopped his children from eating too much, Fayose must have seen something bad coming to him from them! As a smart person, he served them before they served him!

Politics is all about trust and loyalty. Those ones sacked have abused these two tools in politics

Fayose and his friend Wike are funny. They are toeing the same path. Weeding out those that can disrupt their plans for those who will submit to them
