Adeleke, who has gained nationwide popularity as the “dancing governor,” spoke during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.

He said the criticism around his joyful public displays is misplaced.

“My Hobby Doesn’t Disturb Governance”

Adeleke stressed that dancing is simply his way of relaxing, and it doesn’t interfere with his responsibilities.

“I will keep dancing because I love to dance, I love to praise my God, and that doesn’t change anything,” he said.

He added that everyone has their own way of unwinding, and his happens to be dancing and praising God.

The governor, who is contesting for a second term under the Accord Party, dismissed claims that his energetic style could harm his political prospects.

According to him, voters are more interested in performance than personal hobbies.

Recent Viral Moment Sparks Reactions

Adeleke recently trended online after he started singing praises at a public event instead of going straight into his speech.

The moment led to a brief interruption by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, triggering mixed reactions across social media.
