The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, will never cease to amaze the public and Ekiti people as he wore shorts yesterday to the signing event of the state’s 2016 budget.
The governor had attracted criticisms last week when he appeared before the State House of Assembly to defend the proposed N67bn Ekiti State 2016 Budget, as he brought out a gavel and symbolically “passed” the budget into law after presenting the proposal to lawmakers.
Fayose was also criticized for his choice of dressing. He wore T-shirt and jeans, which critics say diminishes the office he occupies. However, he was unfazed and apparently wanted to give his critics more things to talk about. He decided to wear shorts.

All this stupid comments here and there is not making than the so call apc tout . what does dressing have to do with signing of a budget. If he likes let him put on pant we love him. Baba go on and on Baba God dey your side joooo
We can’t all behave diameter way, wear what you like and present budget, he doesn’t need to buy expensive clothes for budget so Nigerians appreciate and respect other people’s feelings. It’s their lives. We waste money on irrelevant things like burial, spending lavishly on lweddings birthdays
There is no constitutional provision for the dress code of a governor during budget defence. I am not from Ekiti State but I see Fayose as one of the best governors of our time. Let him remain consistent in delivering the dividends of democracy to his people.
Comment:hope it is not constitutional. Is it better for him to waste people money on dresses while we suffer infrastructural decay? It is goverment of the people, for the people not dress.
Don’t mind them…..he is the only governor I like in Nigeria………but I pray he will not change.
Putting on a short nicker has nothing to do with budget passage..whats d different betw a short nd a long trouser that d both covering our nakedness. Wise up people,governance is meeting d needs od common people in which fayose is d best at. Whats wrong in him dressing as he want,his dressing cannot stop d paasage of d budget so why are u people ipening ur smelling mouth to insult fayose. Hes d 1st ever governor that send a copy of his state budget to efcc for monitoring. What else do u want again,if it were to b one of apc governor they wont talk,they ll say he dress simple nd humble.leav fayose alone u propagandist
Ayodeji ,you are right, Fayose can equaly wear ordinary pant and under singlet when next he want to go to meet them at state house,.
Fayose is a man we love and cherish so much. I love his style. He don’t care about what you say, but cares about his people. That is what governance is all about. No insultive talks Pls. God bless us
Then, who cares about what he says! He is a motor park governor, period.
kk u are a motor park idiot
A damfo driver with no sense
Comment Nigerian should not be surprise when you have a tough as a governor
WEll, adesegun adekoya is such an idiot, a very stupid nigeria with no sense
You are d most stupid human in earth
Slow down. You are completely frazzled. I think he looks cool and it shows he’s working…unlike the thieves moving all around and folks like you say nothing about them. I might add he looks clean and kempt. Now, you thinks stupid.
Fakeye, u need to be enlightened, Fayose has proved his worth, he has shown Nigerian that he is original and not a carbon copy. naturally i love him and his charisma. The lord will keep him for Ekiti and entire nigeria so that others can learn from him.
Really The Lord will keep him for ekiti for people deserve d type of governance the want.That type of character can’t stay half a day in any sane clime.
John pls read before you respond, Fakeye is not against Fayose.
what one wears to the event as governor is irrelevant. It is looting that diminishes executive office. Is Fayose a treasury looter? Probably is. My point is we have focus on treasury looting. Not what one wears.
Biased APCistic views. We have been hearing this type of your crap.
