Governor Ayo Fayose Takes His National Comedy To China

After making the news for writing a letter to the Chinese government to stop its plan to lend Nigeria $2billion for infrastructure, governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state who refers to himself as a “man of the people” is presently the talking point on various social media platforms after his
media adviser, Lere Olayinka shared pictures purportedly taken while Fayose addressed Chinese businessmen.

Olayinka, while posting the pictures on Facebook, wrote: “Gov Fayose at the Multinationals Sourcing Service Centre, PAzhou Trade Complex, Guangzhou, China, talking with some Chinesse (sic) business men and others on the need to support and empower Nigeria majorly (sic) in technological transfer as a trade partner without over committing a (sic) ailing economy like ours.”

In the pictures shared by Olayinka, the Ekiti state governor is seen dressed in a blue blazers and jeans appearing to speak to an audience many metres away, probably unaware of his presence and seemingly uninterested in his ‘speech’. The rostrum also does not bear any insignia nor hold any microphone as would be expected of a conference setting.

Comments under the Facebook post condemned the governor’s spokesman for being economical with the truth.
