I was eating my Amala jeje early last year too when Shina Peller came in to eat with about 10 SUVs and mopols

awelekiti:
I bet you've never tasted amala at Na Straight, Mokola not far from marindoti barber's area in ibadan. Visit there and thank me later

You are talking about the 90s. In Ibadan right now, Sky Bank is the no1 Amala joint

Shehunoshewhat:
This looks pre-planned...

Trust me, it wasn't. At least from my end. I don't know the man. He even told me when I asked about his security details that even during campaign he never moved around with heavy security. He also said that wasn't his first time of visiting the Amala joint

maybe it's bad network in your area.

Maybe

That's Mr Bayo washing his hands as after eating Amala dudu

Are you campaiging for 2023?
2019 election was last week saturday

Me? I met him for the first time there. His humility is what surprised me

gmercy713:
He has already started planning to visit UK? Not bad tho.
He'll be back in early 2022 to request for our votes claiming a know our plights.

He said on the phone that he would be there for 2 weeks only. To see his children. Is that bad? Family first!

...

He didn't even look perturbed like a man who had just lost an election. A good sign of a great leader

I went for my favourite Amala and Abula session at Skylolo, Sky Bank, Bodija, Ibadan. I made my order and thereafter sat down comfortably to devour my well garnished bowl of Amala delicacy.

Midway through my meal, a man joined the table and sat down directly opposite me, he was making a call and talking about travelling to the UK next week to spend time with his children. I looked up, and looked again, lo and behold, it was Chief Bayo Adelabu.

I couldn't believe it. I shrugged. "it can't be the man" - I confidently said to myself. I decided to look again and, this time, I was pretty convinced it was him. I then decided to bell the cat. I asked him without further hesitation: are you Chief Bayo Adelabu? He promptly said yes and nodded at the same time. I was taken aback, albeit pleasantly. I told him I was surprised to see him sit down with us in a Buka like that, without any security personnel milling around. He appeared so simple, so friendly and so pro-people. I told him right there that I couldn't believe the fact that I was sitting directly opposite a former CBN Deputy Governor, a billionaire and a man who had just lost the a keenly-contested governorship contest, barely a week ago. I enjoined him to keep it up.

That, with time, people will definitely take to him and his simple lifestyle. That the people already love him. That he lost the election for reasons that are not his fault in any way. At this stage, other revellers came close, hugged him, took pictures with him and wished him well in his future ambition. I was about to leave after all this when he pulled me back and asked for my phone number. Waoh! I was like "really"? Me? We immediately exchanged numbers.

Suffice it to say that this man is simple to his bone marrow. He is definitely a born leader. A man of the people without a hair of arrogance or greed. He is definitely one for the future. I am still surprised he was that simple and down to earth. I love him wholeheartedly. Kudos, sir!
