Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, South-West Nigeria, has said that his parents had him go to school even though he was supposed to be in the entertainment industry.

He said in an appearance on News Central TV on Tuesday that he won cash when he took part in dancing competitions there.

Adeleke said, “I love music. I love dancing. In fact, I was supposed to be into entertainment and business. During that time when we were growing up, our father believed that you have to be a doctor, you have to be a lawyer, and you have to go to school. But they forced me to go to school.

“I went to the US in 1980 when Michael Jackson was booming. I used to go out there and do a dancing competition, and I was winning dollars. So, it’s just part of me.

“So, I am not surprised by my nephew and my kids, who have already picked that up. So, I still have it in me.”

Adeleke also said that, even though dancing was his pleasure, he continued to serve as Governor.
