Obasanjo Gives Thumbs-Up to Dancing Governor

By Funmi Adekoya

Former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has lauded Governor Ademola Adeleke for proving his critics wrong by being a dancing but hard working governor in running the affairs of Osun State.

During his address at the 16th Harvest Anniversary and Thanksgiving Service held at the Love of Christ Generation Church C&S in Victoria Island, Lagos State, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo described the Governor as an example of a leader who is not ashamed to praise God despite occupying highest office in the state.

Obasanjo posited that dancing and working for God and the people are things to be proud of.

“Mr Governor, they call you a dancer. But you are dancing to praise God. And I heard you are working hard for your people”, Chief Obasanjo, who spoke in Yoruba language affirmed.

He called on the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi and other royal fathers, who also graced the occasion, to support the Governor to deliver more while urging the Governor to continue to work closely with traditional rulers, elders and stakeholders in the state.

Speaking at the event, Governor Adeleke said his habit of praising God was to celebrate the owner of heaven and earth, saying he was never ashamed to hold unto God through song and dance.

The Governor noted that several men and women of God predicted his becoming governor of the state, hence his reason for praising God for the prophecy that had come to pass.

“I do this in several places of worship. My covenant with God is also to truly deliver dividends of democracy to my people. In 100 days in office, I did what many could not achieve in four years.

“We reformed the public service, attended to workers welfare, constructed and reconstructed over 40 kilometers of roads, implemented free medical surgeries with more than 40,000 beneficiaries.

“We are working on super overhead bridges to ease connectivity. We are reforming the education sector. We are building up our agriculture sector. I am working to make Osun state a reference point.

Governor Adeleke however, seek for prayers and solicit supports for him to record outstanding success during his administration.

In attendance was the Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun and other lawmwkers.
