Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has addressed critics of his dancing skills, saying he dances because his family is full of jolly fellows.

Speaking at a town hall meeting, the governor stated that dancing does not stop him from working.

He said, "I dance because in my family, we are jolly good fellow. As I am dancing, I am working. There is time for everything, there is time to dance and there is time to work. Dancing does not stop me from working. I have delivered across all sectors."

Further speaking, Adeleke warned the 34 governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that he's a bulldozer, reminding them that voting will be done by citizens of the state.

He said, "I am not worried that I am contesting against a party that has 34 Governors; I am a bulldozer. If they like, they should bring all their Governors; they are all my friends. They are not the ones to come and vote here; they can only support their party."

The governor is currently seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party after dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
