Twitter reacts as Lauretta Onochie blows Fayose's cover

Twitter literally erupted into flames today when Media aide to the President, Lauretta Onochie shared a viral video of Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose having fun at a relaxation spot outside the country.

The video showed the former State Governor engaging in hot dance moves with a white woman.

Onochie who was looking to spite him and blow his cover tweeted:

"Its a miracle! Peter is healed! Praise The Lord! Doctors can work wonders sha. Ayodele Fayose On Medical Dancing therapy.

This means he's no longer in severe pain and we won't be seeing him on stretchers during his next court appearance or on his way to jail.

Thank you Doctors."



It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had earlier re-arraigned the former governor on an 11 counts charge bordering on money laundering and conspiracy to the tune of N2.2bn.

When the charge was read to the embattled ex-Governor, he pleaded not guilty and was granted bail on the same terms and conditions earlier granted by the former trial judge, Justice Mojisola Olatoregun.

However, he asked to be granted permission for a medical trip abroad to cater to his ailing health, a request Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the federal high court Ikoyi granted.

The permission was laced with a directive that Fayose' travel document must be returned to the court on or before September 16, 2019.

However, the ex-governor failed to return back home to continue the case filled against him.

Hence the motive behind the Onochie release of the video, to dag attention to him and blow his cover.

However diverse reactions ensued on Twitter.

@aarasheed12 was of the opinion that the cure to Fayose's ailment was dance steps with a lady.

He said, "Maybe it was a Doctor prescription to dance with dt lady.
Sifia pain lasan."



@BrightImuze said, "They should show us videos of all corrupt politicians across both parties who are granted bail on medical grounds that are abroad like this not fayose alone."



Olusola was unhappy the judge let Fayose get away.



Oyeka felt its a matter of time before the tides turn for Lauretta herself
