EXTRA: I love dancing because campaigns are dry without it, says Adeleke

Ademola Adeleke, senator representing Osun west, says he dances to make political campaigns interesting.

In an interview with national assembly TV, Adeleke said he uses dance as a means of exercise.

The senator, who replaced Isiaka, his late brother, trended on social media when he did his “victory dance”.

He added he taught his children how to dance.

“As a matter of fact, I became the face of the campaign, without me there is no campaign,” he said.

“Like we normally say there is time for everything. There is time to laugh. There is time to cry but most of the time, I love dancing and I take it as an exercise.

“My kids got it (dancing) from me, Sina Rambo and B-Red and of course my nephew, Davido. I train them and as a matter of fact, they will tell me that Dad, we can’t catch up with you. I love dancing.

“If you go to most campaigns it is so dry but when you put in an interlude where you dance it becomes interesting where you dance and laugh.

“So, when they (APC) messed up and I moved to my former party, the PDP, they used it against me that I have been dancing.

“I even danced with my daughter and they never knew it was my daughter and they were using it against me but I said ‘hey, she is my daughter’, you have to be close to your children.

“I dance to enjoy myself. Everybody dances.”

He said he had been understudying what is going on in the senate for the past one week.

“I intend to pass a lot of bills that will benefit my people in Osun west, they have done well by supporting me, this election was an election that got a lot of attention and they supported me: the dance I did was a victory dance,” he added.
