Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has reaffirmed his commitment to his dancing hobby, insisting that it will not affect his work as governor. In an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” he explained that dancing is his way of relaxing and expressing his faith. Adeleke, who became known as the “dancing senator” during his time in the Senate, said 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.”
His comments come amid recent developments in his political career. On Tuesday, Adeleke resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and joined the Accord Party ahead of the 2026 Osun State gubernatorial election. The Accord Party subsequently awarded him its ticket during primaries in Osogbo on Wednesday. As he prepares for the upcoming election, his party switch and his dedication to dancing have attracted significant attention.
Despite the change in political affiliation, Governor Adeleke remains focused on his duties, viewing his dancing hobby as a means of personal expression and relaxation. Observers will closely watch how he balances his personal life with his responsibilities in the coming months. With the 2026 election approaching, his priorities and commitments are likely to face increased scrutiny, but for now he emphasizes that dancing remains an integral part of his life that does not compromise his work as governor.
