Adeleke’s Wife Ngozi Defends Husband’s ‘Dancing Governor’ Reputation, Recalls His US Days

• Ngozi Adeleke opened up about Governor Adeleke's dancing reputation in a candid interview, revealing how long it has defined him
• The First Lady shared that her husband danced through their entire traditional wedding ceremony, even bringing musician Shina Peters to perform
• Ngozi made a surprising confession about herself while describing what life with the governor is really like at home

Osun State First Lady Ngozi Adeleke has broken her silence on her husband Governor Ademola Adeleke's widely known reputation as "the dancing governor," and she has nothing but pride about it.

Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, Ngozi made clear that she never found the nickname embarrassing. If anything, she said it is a true reflection of who her husband has always been, long before politics entered the picture.

"I feel good. My husband did not start dancing today. I got to meet with him when he schooled in the US. They called him Jackson because of his dancing skills," she said.

From Village Wedding to Viral Governor

Ngozi recalled their traditional marriage ceremony as one of the most vivid displays of her husband's passion for dance, describing how he danced from one morning all the way through to the next. Governor Adeleke reportedly brought veteran musician Shina Peters to perform at the event, turning the occasion into what she described as a full carnival.

"I don't think my village people have ever seen that type of wedding up till today. They still talk about it," she said.

The First Lady also clarified that she did not marry a politician. At the time they met, it was his elder brother who was involved in politics, meaning those who assumed dancing was a political performance tool simply did not know the man before the governorship.

No Dull Moment in the Adeleke Home

Offering a rare glimpse into their private life, Ngozi described her husband as someone who is almost never in a low mood. She said if he is not dancing, he is either singing or praising God, and noted that he was once a choir member who can both play the drum and sing well.
