Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has reacted to the outrage that greeted a video which shows him dancing on a cruise ship while on a court granted ”medical trip” abroad.
The video shows the former governor dancing salsa (a dance routine that has it roots from Cuba) with a white lady on the ship.
Earlier, photos of Fayose relaxing on a beach abroad also trended on social media.
Many Nigerians who reacted to the video and photos accused Fayose of deceiving the court.
But Fayose in a response he shared on Twitter said he had every right to enjoy the holiday season like everyone else because he only travelled for medical checkup and not on admission in the hospital.
The former governor wrote: ” These “hailers”, when I was on their case, they were crying. Now I’m on my own lane enjoying my life, they are still crying & sucking. Expect more so you can cry more. I’m on medical check up not admission. Celebrating New Year is my right, haters can hug transformer. Happy New Year.”

Fayose, who is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for an alleged N2.2 billion money laundering, told a Federal High Court in Lagos that he was sick and needed to seek medical treatment abroad.
On December 7, the court granted him permission to travel abroad for medical treatment.
