Fayose 'outshines' Melaye again as he shows off drumming skills at General Adebayo’s burial (photos)

Ekiti state governor, Ayodele Fayose, is one of Nigeria's most dramatic governors. Some Nigerians are so in love with this man that never ceases to give them something to talk about.

There is hardly a week that goes by without the governor being in the news. If Fayose is not attacking President Muhammadu Buhari, he is giving out freebies to the people or having fun being a disc jockey (DJ).

The Ekiti state governor who is a man of the people on Friday, May 19, showed his drumming skills at the Lying-in-state of late Gen. Adeyinka Adebayo, at Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado Ekiti.
