Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has reaffirmed his commitment to his dancing hobby, stating that it will not impact his work as governor. In an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” program, Governor Adeleke emphasized that dancing is his way of relaxing and expressing his faith.
Adeleke, who gained popularity as the “dancing senator” during his time in the Senate, explained that his love for dancing is a personal aspect of his life that does not interfere with his gubernatorial duties. “I will keep dancing because I love to dance, I love to praise my God,” he said. “Everybody has their way of relaxing or hobby. My hobby is to dance and praise my God. That does not affect my work.”
The governor’s comments come amid recent developments in his political career. On Tuesday, he resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the Accord Party, ahead of the 2026 Osun State gubernatorial election. The Accord Party subsequently handed him the party ticket during its primaries in Osogbo on Wednesday.
As the governor prepares for the upcoming election, his decision to switch parties and his commitment to his dancing hobby have generated significant attention. Despite the changes in his political affiliation, Governor Adeleke remains focused on his duties as governor, with his dancing hobby serving as a means of personal expression and relaxation.
The governor’s ability to balance his personal life with his gubernatorial responsibilities will be closely watched in the coming months. With the 2026 election approaching, Governor Adeleke’s priorities and commitments will be subject to increased scrutiny. For now, he remains committed to his dancing hobby, emphasizing that it is an integral part of his personal life that does not compromise his work as governor.
