Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, on Thursday mocked Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, over his love for dancing, while urging voters to collect money from political opponents but vote for the All Progressives Congress in the August 15 governorship election.

Okpebholo spoke at an APC campaign rally in support of the party’s governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, popularly known as “Ambo.” Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, was also in attendance.

The Edo governor repeatedly ridiculed Adeleke’s dancing, claiming it reflected poor leadership and distracted him from governance.

“Before somebody signs paper, he will dance. Are you not tired? For four years, this man has been dancing. Before he takes breakfast, before he drinks tea, he will dance,” Okpebholo told supporters.
