Not minding the presence of people at the restaurant, the governor sat comfortably and focused on the two bowls in front of him.
He even posed for photographs, which Lere Olayinka, his spokesman, released on social media.
“Just like you and I, Governor Fayose doing justice to AMALA with gbegiri, ewedu and ogufe (goat meat) at the popular Iya Oyo Amala Joint, Wuye, Abuja today,” Olayinka wrote.
“No retinue of security men, just the governor and a few of his friends taking care of their stomach.
“Say what you like, na you know.”
Despite criticisms that have trailed the lifestyle, which is very unpopular among the political class, Fayose has vowed to continue to identify with the masses.
During his last birthday, he shared cakes on the street of Ado-Ekiti, his state capital. He has also rode on commercial motorcycles, and walked freely on streets.
Speaking after taking oath of office in 2014, Fayose said though the opposition wanted him to look like the governor of their imagination, he was a governor of the people’s imagination.
“I am the governor of your imagination, the governor that eats boli with you, the governor that drinks agbo jedi with you, the governor that knows that the resources of this state belong to you,” he had said.
“When I come to buy boli tomorrow, I will drop something. I will look after you. They are too clean in their own eyes to go to agbo jedi (a local drink) sector and that is why you voted them out.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

He said “I am the governor of your imagination, the governor that eats boli with you, the governor that drinks agbo jedi with you, the governor that knows that the resources of this state belong to you,”
So you know the resources of the state belongs to the people yet you have refused to pay workers' salary for close to six(6) months and you went ahead to buy 60 brand new cars for political office holders. Where is the moral justification in that"
Abeggy tell it to the birds.
I don't blame him at all.
God is watching us all.
omase oooo. people get carried away by this non progressive governor. peolpe get carried away with the future of their children by this good for nothing gestures of this man. what a world we are in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteHe is at least better than APC lead federal government.
DeleteEl Matosky or what ever your name is, your stupidity is always growing, what do you want people to say? Government is fighting corruption that is why you don't like the government because you grow with corruption your parents pay your school fees with corruption money, some people like you will commit suicide after 2019 election when President Buhari declare as elected President again, nonsense
DeleteWhy are you talking jargon and attacking personality? That is El matosky's opinion, just say yours and stop displaying your stupidity and ignorance openly. Tell me, apart from Lagos that has paid till date, which of the APC led state has paid salaries up till date?. Don't just sit somewhere in your village and be misyearning, Ekiti state produces nothing but go there today and see for yourself, what this man is doing with their little resources. And he's not using artisans (welders, carpenters, b/l) fron outside, he employs the people in the state. He has ever been eating in buka and buying akara on the road like this, not just this his second reign.
DeleteWhat did the APC man do in Ekiti before he was shown the way out, what?. Let us call a spade a spade, his works speak for him, as for the money he collected from Jona, let's wait till after he's out of office then we can crucify him 'cos he has to face it.
Anon @1:23pm, Idiot! If your Allah-Buhari dies before 2019, I hope U will wake him up to rule you and your village heads.
DeleteUr useless god is dying and your talking about 2019. Your uselessness no get equal.
