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.

Am beginning to like him for his simplicity in dressing,the simpler the better
I love him that way . that is simplicity
Yeah, i have read your several comments on Governor Peter Fayose dressing on the States Budget signing day. He is not infallible, just like any of us, but it beats my imagination, it also seems that an average Nigeria, in Churh or mosque, pretends to be worshipping God Almighty. How?, the truth from all survey research, is that we must jettison physical appearances of wealth and highly placed corrupted uninionis in determining followership, though neatness matters a lot in both public and private spheres of life. Here, Fayose was not in rags anyway. But my observation is that” If we can pik 10 men of valor in the likes of Fayose, from PDP, APC, ACPN,(my Political party) and others, then the real expected Change, has arrived.(am not saying he should abuse or neglect office of our God Sent President)
Gov. Fayose is believes in originality. This is a man that does not know how to pretend as every politician do. May God blessed and draw him more to Himself for the sake of heaven which is the ultimate.
Some school of thoughts believes that what you wear is what you are, that is not true in all cases. socially, you can dress to make others happy and you are not comfortable with what you put on. Fayose is a human being like us, what the big deal in him dressing simple based on how he feels. Lets stop the mentality that is when you sweat much that shows you are working or when u dress politely that shows you are serious.
I love this man as day passes, I think i am beginning to see him as my best candidate for our next presidency, he is not a hypocrite, he is a real man. Please sir wear what ever you want to wear and let Ekiti state be good
I holistically concur with @ Charles. Fayose is better than APC change!
