Osun State governor, Ademola Adeleke, has shunned critics of his dancing habit, claims it gives him joy.
Reacting to a commendation from a Nigerian actor and broadcaster, Yemi Shodimu, who said the governor uses dance to distract his opponents, Adeleke took to his X handle to acknowledge the commendation.
He, however, noted that fulfilling his electoral promises give him greater joy.
“Dancing gives me joy, but delivering on my electoral promises and providing the dividends of democracy to the good people of Osun gives me even greater joy.
“Rehabilitation of primary health centers is ongoing in at least 200 out of 332 wards, and road construction is progressing in every Local Government!” Adeleke wrote.
According to report, Yemi Shodium had lauded the Osun state governor over his achievements while speaking at a birthday event yesterday.
“I’m not flattering you, Your Excellency, your opponents think you can only dance but while they are busy shouting and calling you ‘Dancing Governor’, you are busy fulfilling your electoral promises to the people. You’re taking Osun to a new height that everyone is happy to identify with.
“You are an uncommon Governor who was underrated by critics and opposition. Keep on the good work.
“Your people and even most Nigerians appreciate your capacity to combine service to the people and your passion for dancing and for ever remaining happy as a leader. Let me tell you, Governor Adeleke is using dance to distract his opponent” Shodimu said.
