Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose is one man who does not give out airs when it comes to interacting and identifying with the grassroots people.
In
fact, if an award is to be given to Nigerian governors who goes as far
as mixing with the masses, Fayose will take such without batting an
eye.
In
the latest of such show, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) Governors' Forum, was seen stopping his convoy to buy a local
delicacy called Iresi Inu Ewe (local rice cooked and served inside
leaves) from a roadside food seller at Moferere area of Ado-Ekiti, the
state capital.

By the time the Governor left, the food seller got a token of N20,000 for the food worth only N100.
As usual, his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications & New Media, Lere Olayinka took
to the social media put up the photos of the Governor enjoying his meal
while his aides look on with great delight and, some will say, a
longing to have a taste of the food.
Read what Olayinka wrote on Facebook and Twitter:
"Something for our APC friends to get busy with...
Here

a few minutes ago.

He ate N100 rice and by the time he was leaving, the food seller got N20,000 for service rendered.
Make
una BMC members take the pictures to Utako, Abuja, for una usual
analysis. At least, you now have something to keep you busy."
This
is not the first time Governor Fayose has displayed such act of
mingling with the locals as he has been pictured taking rides on commercial motorcycles popularly called Okada,
eating amala at roadside bukas, enjoying his fresh palm wine with local
people or going to the market to buy and sell foodstuff.
