Mr Paul Ibe, Media Adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has blasted ex-Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, over his 48 hours ultimatum to withdraw a statement released about him.
In a statement on his verified X handle, Ibe expressed his disappointment over Fayose’s inability to differentiate between Phrank Shaibu and himself.
Bellnews reports that Fayose had blasted Atiku’s aide, threatening to ‘spill more beans’ over Minna meeting if he does not withdraw a statement about him within 48 hours.
Responding, Ibe said it only confirms that Fayose’s tales are truly motivated by some aged beverages, asking if the 48-hour ultimatum was not too long.
Ibe further said that he does not need the services of a witch doctor to hazard a guess as to where he get his supplies of aged beverages from.
Atiku’s spokesman expressed sympathy for Fayose, urging the former governor to revert to him if he regains his sanity earlier than his projected recovery time of 48 hours.
“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?
“Haba, is 48 hours not too long? 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,” he sarcastically asked.
