Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke surprised a puff-puff seller on Thursday during a rally in Osogbo by buying all her snacks for ₦50,000 and offering her a job as a chef at the Government House.
The incident occurred as thousands of Osun public servants gathered for an appreciation rally to show support for the governor’s leadership and care since taking office.
In footage from the event, Adeleke, seated in a bus, called over the roadside vendor and asked the cost of all her puff-puff. He then handed her ₦50,000 to the cheers of the crowd, who quickly shared the purchased snacks.
The governor invited the woman into the vehicle, where an official asked about her academic qualifications. She revealed she holds a Nigerian Certificate in Education. Adeleke then inquired about the dishes she could prepare and directed his aides to take her contact information for employment as a chef at the Government House.
The development was confirmed by Olaniyan Taofeek, Commissioner II at the Osun State Civil Service Commission, who posted the video on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “The moment Gov. Adeleke turned the life of a puff-puff seller into a Government House chef.”
Governor Adeleke’s Special Assistant on Digital Media, Oni Gbenga Lawrence, also shared the video, noting, “Moment Governor Ademola Adeleke turned the life of a puff-puff seller to Government Chef… not only ₦50k but he invited her into his car and employed her as chef in the Government House
