Ademola Adeleke, the sacked Governor of Osun State is a handful. He acquired the epithet, 'The Dancing Governor.' as he danced well.

He handled the mandate given to him by his people with the kind of levity and unseriousness associated with his dancing past time. He danced away his mandate because he handled it with the same unseriousness that is associated with his pastime, no matter the kind of energy he puts into it when possessed by that spirit of dance. He was called the dancing governor because under normal circumstances a dancer cannot dance his way to the Government House. Yet, he wanted to be the governor of a state. Many also believe his addiction to dance, a pastime which intoxicates him more often than not does not make him a good fit for a huge responsibility such as that of the governor of a state. And many believe his conviviality and frivolities belie the huge office and responsibility to which he aspires.

The Osun governorship election tribunal appears to have taken a swipe at the dancing skills of Ademola Adeleke.
