Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Ogun State, Otunba Segun Showunmi, has told Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State to remain focussed in the discharge of his duty and avoid distractions from those he called “political opportunists.”
He also expressed worry that the media is fixated on Adeleke’s “Davidic nature and the dancing swag.”
Adeleke is known for his love for dancing and this has earned him the nickname of ‘The Dancing Governor.’
In March, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, while commissioning a government project in Osun, urged Governor Adeleke to continue his dancing spirit while prioritising the delivery of crucial infrastructure projects in the state.

Showunmi in a statement issued in Abeokuta, Ogun State, said the media appears only showcasing dancing swag of the governor, who, according to him, has put “phenomenal development works across the state.”
He spoke while narrating his experience about his visit to Osun State a few days ago.
The PDP Chieftain said he did a personal tour round the state, conducted interviews and was wowed by the developmental strides of the government.
He listed about six projects that the governor has undertaken in barely two years in office.
“Honestly, I was not expecting much from the Governor of Osun state in terms of projects, because the best the media has been projecting about him was just his Davidic nature, the dancing swag.
“With little hope, I asked one of his men to show me Governor Ademola Adeleke’s projects in the state, then what I saw wowed me.
“I cannot believe the direction at which the Governor is tilting towards the development of the state . He has monumental on-going projects which have great capacity to influence the living standard of the people positively,” Showunmi said.
He urged all sons and daughters of Osun State to join hands with Adeleke to contribute to put the state on the path of economic growth and development.
