Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has stated that he will not refrain from dancing, stressing that dancing will not affect his work.

Governor Adeleke made this statement on Wednesday when he appeared as a guest on a national Television programme.

Adeleke, who became the candidate of the Accord Party on Wednesday, said, “Let me tell you something. I will keep dancing because I love to dance, and I love to praise my God. That doesn’t change anything. You understand what I’m saying?

“Everybody has their way of relaxing or a hobby. My hobby is to dance and praise my God. That does not affect my work.”

Adeleke’s position came following an incident between him and the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

It would be recalled that a viral video showed Mrs Tinubu interrupting Adeleke during the 10th coronation anniversary celebration of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.

In the video, OSUN DEFENDER observed that Governor Adeleke, in his usual style, began singing a gospel song at the point where he was expected to deliver his official address.

Apparently dissatisfied with the delay, the First Lady stood up, approached the governor, and urged him to proceed with his speech, reportedly giving him “five minutes.” She also threatened to take the speech document if he continued singing instead of delivering the address.
