Nigerian senator and candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Ademola Adeleke in the Osun State governorship poll said he will dance to the state’s government house after the September 22 Osun governorship election.
Adeleke will need to defeat candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Adegboyega Oyetola who is backed by the incumbent Rauf Aregbesola to succeed him.
But the PDP candidate, who spoke at a town hall meeting organised by Oduduwa Youth Development Initiative in Osun State, assured his supporters he will win the governorship election.
“I will surely dance to the government house by winning all the local government areas in Osun State on Saturday,” Adeleke said.
“I have been tagged ‘dancing senator’, but this shouldn’t be used against my personality because of everybody dances. Have you seen someone who doesn’t dance?”

Adeleke said he was confident of winning the election considering the level of support he enjoyed from the resident of the state.
“When I was in the university overseas, I used to go for dancing competitions. I do win the dancing competition. This is the reason why I was nicknamed ‘Jackson’ but my real name is Ademola Nurudeen Adeleke.”
“There is no crime in dancing, my traducers are only trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. I strongly believe in my supporters’ votes and by it, I will dance to the government house by winning all in all the local government areas in Osun State.”
The lawmaker representing Osun West senatorial district in the Nigerian Senate known as the ‘dancing senator’ also faulted the APC-led administration in the state over non-payment of salaries and poor handling of education.
“Anybody who fails to pay his or her labourers is wicked and I can boldly say that APC government is wicked for not paying workers in the state.
“When I get to power I will overturn it by ensuring that the welfare of every worker in the state is catered for.
“The insensitivity of the All Progressives Congress government is responsible for where LAUTECH is today and it is evidently clear to the masses that PDP government takes education as a priority.”
