Former Governor Fayose reveals how he wants to be buried when he dies
Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has laid out specific instructions on how he wants his remains handled, declaring that the Ekiti State Government should take full charge of his body and burial arrangements whenever he dies.
Fayose, who turns 65 today, made the declaration in a six-minute video released on YouTube by City Edge TV on Saturday.
In the recording, he said, “Remember me for anything. And when I die, let me say this. Death is inevitable. My body belongs to the Ekiti State Government. I’m delivering a letter to the governor.”
He explained that the directive applies no matter how far into the future his death occurs, stressing that the government must be responsible for managing his remains.
According to him, “Let us say in another 20, 30 years, 15 years, whatever time, for the glory of God. The Ekiti state government takes over my body, and I must be buried within four weeks. Because the state might not be ready within two, three days, we allow them four weeks.”
Fayose also outlined personal guidelines for his family, saying his children should avoid special mourning garments and instead wear their regular clothes, fully adhering to whatever instructions the government issues at the time.
He further emphasised that no visits should be made after his burial, insisting that his wishes be followed without deviation.
