Sen. Solomon Olamilekan, who represents Lagos West Senatorial District, on Thursday said that taking soaked “garri’’ and dried fish as a meal gave him more satisfaction than any other food.
Olamilekun; a member of the Senate Committee on Finance, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that garri and dried fish was his favourite food.
“I don’t know why I just like garri and dried fish, it gives me the kind of satisfaction I can`t describe, I just feel good after having it.
Some people would ask me, why would a senator like garri and not all these expensive stuffs? and the answer I give is that it makes me feel great.
It is so amazing that sometimes when I am having stomach upset, and I take garri everything disappears within minutes. I think garri is best suited for my body,’’ he said.
Olamilekan stated that he preferred mostly local foods to foreign delicacies.
