Prince Isaac Fayose, businessman and serial political needler, has taken aim again—this time at Kogi State’s Governor Usman Ododo and his predecessor, Yahaya Bello. In a clip now ricocheting across WhatsApp and X, Fayose zooms in on the two men at a recent function and insists nothing has really changed hands.
The “Godfather” Jab
Over a video of Bello lounging in a high-back seat while Ododo perches nearby, Fayose fires off:
“See chair wey governor sit down, see chair wey former governor sit down 😆😆😆😆… Adedibu of Kogi State.”
By invoking the late Lamidi Adedibu—the Oyo strongman who once decided who got what in Ibadan—Fayose paints Bello as the unseen thumb still pressing the scale. The message: Ododo may sign the papers, but Bello still owns the desk.
The optics, Fayose claims, scream “master and orderly” rather than “outgoing and incoming governor.”
As of press time neither Bello’s camp nor the Government House in Lokoja has replied. Online, though, the clip has set off fresh sparring over whether Kogi is sliding back into old-school godfather politics.
