Govt.Fayose has labeled
Nigerians hypocrites , who condemned him for wearing a T -
shirt to the state House of Assembly but praised co - founder
of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg for dressing in similar fashion.
The governor came under fire from a section of Nigerians
when he appeared in casual wears to present the 2016
budget estimates before the House of Assembly , last
December . Some of his critics said considering the
importance of the function, Mr . Fayose ought to have dressed
in a formal or traditional outfit .
Fast forward last week , Mr . Zuckerberg , who is listed in the
world ’ s ten richest people , according to Forbes, arrived Lagos
last week to meet young tech entrepreneurs , in T- shirt and
jeans . He also took to the street , as is his tradition, to keep fit
by jogging , without the compliments of body guards or
security escorts .
The move earned him rare accolades from President
Muhammadu Buhari and Nigerians , who hailed the Facebook
CEO ’ s simplicity and humility, despite being the richest young
person in the world at age 31 .

In his response to the perceived double standards, Gov.
Fayose , while speaking at a meeting with directors of finance
and accounts , directors of information , chief internal auditors
and others from across ministries, departments and agencies
in the state on Monday, described Nigerians as hypocrites,
who see nothing good in whatever he does .
“Whatever I do , they will condemn . When I wore T - shirt to the
House of Assembly , they said I didn ’ t dress properly. But
when the Facebook founder came to Nigeria , wearing T - shirt praises was throwing at him because he had made the world to be connected....
Zuckerberg is a simple man
