Osun state Governor Ademola Adeleke has received several accolades from Nigerians on social media after a video of him showing off his footballing skills went viral.

Although this would not be the first time the Governor was spotted showing off his football skills, the governor has drawn reactions from many who compared him with famous soccer players such as Ronaldo, Harvertz, Lionel Messi, among others.

In a video making rounds, Adeleke who is known as the dancing senator, was seen on a football field with some soccer players at an undisclosed location.

Recently, the Supreme Court affirmed Ademola Adeleke as the Governor of Osun state.

It will be recalled that that the Independent National Electoral Commission had declared that Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party polled 403,371 votes to defeat then-incumbent, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, of the All Progressives Congress who got 375,027 votes.

However, Oyetola and the APC rejected the result of the poll with claims that Adeleke won through over-voting that occurred in 774 polling units in the state.

Oyetola headed to court, however, he was told that he had failed to produce evidence from the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) a machine that was used read Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and authenticate voters to prove his allegation.

Below are some reactions on social media;
