Isaac Fayose drops lawsuit against Olayinka at FCT High Court

Isaac Fayose, brother to former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has withdrawn his legal case against Lere Olayinka at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court. The case, which had stirred political discussions online, has now been settled without further litigation. Fayose informed the court of his decision to discontinue the matter, leading the judge to strike it out officially.

According to reports, both men agreed to end the dispute quietly in the interest of peace. The withdrawal signals a possible reconciliation or an understanding reached outside the courtroom. Supporters from both sides have expressed relief, noting that the development helps avoid prolonged legal battles and political tension.

Fayose’s legal team confirmed that their client opted for settlement instead of continuing the lawsuit. They explained that the decision was made to promote unity and focus on more meaningful engagements rather than conflict. Legal observers say this type of withdrawal helps promote dialogue in political disagreements.

In reaction, Olayinka welcomed the development, describing it as a positive move. He emphasized that public figures should work towards peaceful resolutions rather than escalate disputes. He also thanked those who supported him throughout the case, saying the matter is now closed.

With the case now withdrawn, political watchers believe both men will move ahead without further public confrontation. The decision is seen as a win for peaceful dialogue and an example of resolving differences without unnecessary court battles.
