Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has stood his ground on his love for dancing, saying it has never gotten in the way of running the state.
In an interview on Channels Television‘s Politics Today Wednesday, the governor, popularly known as Nigeria’s “dancing governor”, dismissed criticisms of his energetic public performances, calling them unfair.
For Adeleke, dancing is just a hobby and his way of relaxing after long hours of work.
“I will keep dancing because I love to dance, I love to praise my God, and that doesn’t change anything,” he said.
He explained that everyone has their own way of unwinding, and his happens to involve dancing and praising God.
According to him, voters are more interested in good governance and tangible results than whether their leader dances in public.
The governor, who is running for a second term under the Accord Party, brushed aside concerns that his lively personality might damage his political prospects.
He believes his track record will speak for itself.
Adeleke recently went viral after breaking into praise and worship at a public event before his speech.
The moment drew attention when First Lady Oluremi Tinubu briefly stepped in, triggering a wave of reactions online.
Mrs. Tinubu later clarified the situation, saying the online backlash was blown out of proportion.
