My parents forced me to go to school instead of pursuing my passion – Gov. Adeleke
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has revealed that he was supposed to be an entertainer not a politician.
The governor who is known for his dance moves said his parents forced him to attend school although he wanted to be an entertainer.
Adeleke who made the revelation during an interview on News Central TV on Tuesday said he won dollars for dancing to entertain people in the United States during his school days.
The governor who said he still has the talent in him noted that he is not surprised by the path his nephew and children have already picked.
Adeleke submitted that dancing was his hobby and didn’t stop him from his role as a governor.
“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 a 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”, he said.
