Frida khalo was a famous Mexican surrealistic painter who would not ask for your presence before doing an imaginative artwork about you. While her own trade fetched her money and self-respect,
Fayose, in turn, earns distust, ignominy, weakened integrity, and character decline as a result of his own imagination.
As I was reading his fabricated story about the recent visit of GSM to PBAT yesterday, i remembered the artworks of Knalo and her immense imagination.
If Fayose is using his own imagination in a productive manner, he would have earned our applauses, but feeding us stories from the figment of his imagination is the least disservice one could have expected from a former governor.
He spoke of an untold story as though it was a sweeter revelation like John Keats unheard story captured in his own poem titled ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’.
Incidentally, Fayose’s untold story was repulsive as it was uninspiring. It revealed nothing.
He called what happened behind the curtains ” a true story “as if he were made to record the proceedings.
Funnily, his own account also portrayed Makinde as a spunkless man who needed to loan from the courage of a co governor before he could see the president face to face.
But the irony is, the President met with the “less courageous” Makinde in a closed door without any other person.
Still smarting from the last media chat conducted by Makinde, he still have to put words in the mouth of the president to defend Wike, his man friday ” If its about Wike, it’s better to go on TV to say all you ( Makinde] had to say.
Can the revered president utter that kind of statement? Of course not ..
Even if the president is not expecting support from anyone, he is not a type that will voice that out. Allow that to sink.
The deep reality is that with or no Wike, GSM is comfortable in the PDP, and he’s not hiding the fact, he has been saying this without any ambiguity.
The reality is that he has nothing to gain in APC .
Another Fayose’s cooked up story is on Bodija intervention fund, which has become the “sorest scar” that influences his thought.
From his widest imagination, Fayose believes that “When a lie is echoed endlessly, many people will accept it as truth.” A cognitive dissonance which philosophers call” Web Effects.”
You can trust Fayose at your own risk.
