The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has congratulated the former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on his 65th Birthday, describing him as “a valuable friend and brother, who will never pretend about where he stands on issues.”

In his letter of congratulation to the former governor, Wike said Fayose remained a reference point in politics and governance in Nigeria.

According to a statement issued on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the minister stated: “From the deepest part of my heart, I congratulate you on the occasion of your 65th Birthday, coming up on November 15th, 2025.

“That you have attained this age is no doubt a confirmation of the grace the Almighty God has bestowed on you, and a challenge for more service to our country, Nigeria.

I have great respect for armed forces — Wike

“No doubt, at 65, you have remained a reference point in politics and governance in Nigeria.

“You are such a valuable friend and brother, who will never pretend about where he stands on issues.

“Ayodele my younger brother, may you reach the age of your elder brother in good health, and may God continue to make your days on earth fruitful, with immeasurable blessings.
