whalesaviemore: You can't have a governor celebrate people in this way. A closely associated celebration, not the usual handshake, would motivate the people being celebrated to do even more. This is good to watch. Governor Adeleke is not far from the people and it is a paradigm shift in governance in Nigeria.
