Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun State, has joined devotees of the Orisa deity to celebrate the annual Osun-Osogbo festival.
The crowd went into a frenzy mode as the governor got to the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, venue of the event.
In some videos making the round as usual the governor who was formerly known as the Dancing Senator but is now the Dancing Governor thrilled the mammoth crowd with some of his dance steps. Moreso, despite the vast crowd Adeleke took time to greet and shake some of the attendees of the festival.
Speaking about the festival the governor took to his Twitter account to say that as promised during his campaign he has given the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove a facelift. He further stated that the target is toward the genuine globalization of our cultural heritage as a major building block of our economy.
He posted, “As a starting point, our administration has facelifted the Osun Groove, and we are committed to doing more. I felicitated with Kabiyesi, the Ataoja-in-Council, all the traditional leaders, and all the pillars of our cultural society.
“We were delighted to join our people for the Osun Osogbo Festival today. I stated that our administration has a tourism and cultural industry agenda. Our agenda targets genuine globalization of our cultural heritage as a major building block of our economy.”
