The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Osun State’s Governor Ademola Adeleke of ‘’twerking” at nightclubs and demanded that he instead focus on delivering governance to the people.
Uncle to the world-acclaimed musician Davido, whom he claims to have taught many dance steps, Governor Adeleke is well known for his unabashed dancing and gyrating in public.
APC appears to be retaliating to a statement by the state’s ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that said the opposition party was hurting from Adeleke’s great performance as the Governor in the last one-and-half years he took over office.
In a statement issued by Kola Olabisi, Osun APC knocked the Governor for merry-making in Lagos while civil servants and retirees were allegedly yet to receive March wages despite increased revenue allocation from the Federal Government.
The statement read: “It is unfortunate that the handlers of the governor have decided not to guide him right. The Governor Adeleke dancing and twerking session at the Sheraton Hotel is an executive show of shame which has diminished the rating of Osun State in the court of the public worldwide.
“I keep wondering why Governor Adeleke who could not justify the receipt of the over N200 billion (net) in Federal allocation within the 15 months of his administration, coupled with N14 billion cash in bank he inherited from the former Governor Gboyega Oyetola, is always comfortable attending night clubs, disco parties and social events in Lagos and Abuja.
“Could there be a justifiable reason under the sun for a governor who could not properly account for N39.5 billion Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in 2023; series of the Federal Government palliative supports meant for the poor amounting to over N13 billion and other revenues from some donor agencies, to take to dancing and frolicking in the public?
“Why have the state workers and pensioners not received their inadequate palliative wage for the month of March? It is either the governor is wicked or the state is broke. Even if the payment is effected today, 9th day of April, it can’t atone for the suffering the governor has made the innocent workers and senior citizens to go through.”
