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.

I don’t care about what Fayose wears, what I care about is how much dividend of democracy he can delivery to Ekiti people. I strongly believe he is doing that as the people voted him back to office based on his track record.
Only FOOLS love governors who are fashion minded but has nothing to offer to them who voted for them.
I think Fayose is the Government Ekiti people need at this time.
Please note, I am not from Ekiti, but I have followed his performance long before now.
Thank you.
Well, everyone is entitle to his or her opinion. Decency is a good omen and so ur dressing speaks more of ur decency. God save us and put us on the right direction.
Why are we so concerned about whether somebody wears trousers or shouts? They make no difference. We are just prisoners of our parochial mindset. What were whites wearing when they were rulers of Nigeria between 1900 and 1960. What were our policemen and soldiers wearing 60-70years ago? SHORTS! SHORTS! SHORTS! These people wore shorts and it didn’t diminish there offices or reduced the performance of their duties. Now we have to dress like prisoners putting on all these heavy clothes like jacket, tie, coat, etc and by such become sophisticated criminals like those bankers of 1990-2009 who dressed so powerfully corporate and looted or O.B.T. depositors funds through every conceivable means possible while deceiving the public with their ‘responsible’ corporate appearances. FAYOSE CARRY GO. NA YOU BIKO.
No matter how much u defend govr fayose,there’s required standard moral behaviour expected from occupants of high ranking office anywhere in the world b it America, Europe, Asia or Africa, hw will u rate an M.D of a big conglomerate dressing in short n polo to chairs board meeting in A.G.M, I bet it can be imagined. U accept it or not govr fayose behaviour is highly questionable n unbecoming of a V.I.P in such high ranking office, no matter what decency n modesty should guide his utterances n appearance particularly in important events such as budget presentation or ceremony.. Hope he’s not overdose on drugs
Best governor Nigeria ever ve no noncess man,he gives his people what dey want and what dey need,so nobody should ever talk bad about him,his a man of year
Fayose is now seen as a very good man who takes care of his pple. I want to remind those who are hailing as a hero of our time and Nigerian in general that the same fayose spent more than 2 billion naira ekiti money to operate a poultry. Pple should thinks twice. My advice to fayose in all these is that he should be careful and guard his utterances because the drum thats sound recklessly ll soon burst.
hummnnnnn,people had said a lot,but there is something I personally believe, i.e putin on Agbada,buba ,danshiki,shirt and plain trousers,jeans and polo,etc does not mean the fellow did not dress responsible. But check it in other way round ,why should a reasonable person put on Agbada ? why sud someone put on a suit or jeans and trousers,likewise some preferred wearing shorts & shirts ,as others preffered Agbada and buba for a presentation.u put on what u wish,except if there is a code or mode of dressing,if there is not,so why cant u dress the way its match u.Am not into any party freeque or from Ekiti,but free the Gov.
you be big fool,what has the topic here got to do with your stupid and senseless occult group you belong to? my friend go and look for job to do,or fabricate other lies for those who care.
I jus lov d man he is so brave abt his style of dressing it has nothing to do wit being a gov am sure wen he wants to wear native he will so it’s cool wit me
