Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun State has noted that everyone has a hubby despite the position they occupy in society.

Adeleke who recently won an Appeal Court ruling that upheld his victory in the election in the state noted that his love for dancing began when he was in high school.

He is widely regarded as the dancing governor because of his public display.

Speaking to Arise TV on Monday, March 27, he said: "When I was in high school, I loved literature and Macbeth said this life is a like tale told by an idiot. So since then when I remember that quote, I take life so easy and I love dancing and praising my God.

"I don't believe that you are a Senator, governor, or even president. Everyone has their hubby and what they do. But there is time for everything. Time to dance and event time to work."

"So a lot of people, know me as dancing dancing dancing, now my wife told some people the other day that I work too. I work for everything and make my people happy."

Recall that in a 2017 interview published on the official Twitter handle of the Nigerian Senate @NGRSenate by Bamikole Omishore, Special Adviser New Media to the President of the Senate and also the Director of the NASS TV, Adeleke said he started dancing while he was in the All Progressives Congress to make campaigns lively.

Adeleke was then in the Senate to fill the vacuum left by his late brother Senator Isiaka Adeleke.

He said when he moved to the Peoples Democratic Party, he also continued with his dance steps to make campaigns very lively.

“If you go to most campaigns, it is so dry; but when you put in an interlude where you dance, it becomes interesting and you dance and laugh.
