Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has come under fire from actor Uche Maduagwu for going to Davido’s wedding in Lagos while accompanied by Chioma.
Uche Maduagwu expressed his concerns over the neglect of official obligations by Governor Adeleke to attend Davido’s wedding.
Along with other dignitaries like former Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Governor Adeleke attended the lavish wedding on Tuesday.
Uche Maduagwu questioned Governor Adeleke’s decision to put a wedding ahead of his responsibilities as Osun State’s chief executive officer, particularly on a workday, in an Instagram video message.
Uche Maduagwu emphasized that these kinds of actions degrade public offices’ supposed seriousness and set a poor example for others.
Maduagwu compared the situation to the private sector, raising concerns about whether a bank’s managing director would take time off on a Tuesday morning to attend a wedding.
He also emphasized the contrast between Governor Adeleke’s actions and those of other leaders, such as the Governors of New York and Texas, who would not attend a wedding on a workday.
In his own words:
“On a Tuesday morning, Osun State Governor is leaving his State to attend a wedding [in Lagos]. We are not ready in this country. Honestly, we are not serious in this country.
“Can you see the MD of Access Bank or Zenith Bank leave their office on a Tuesday morning to attend a wedding? I’ve never done this in my life. On a Tuesday morning, the Chief Executive Officer of Osun, which is one of the poorest states in the South West, is leaving his office to attend a wedding. We are not ready in this country.
“This is a disgrace. A disrespect to the people of Osun State. If any permanent secretary in your state leaves his office to attend a wedding on a workday, would you be happy? And as a leader, you cannot even lead by example. You are attending a wedding in Lagos on a Tuesday afternoon. Will you ever see the Governor of New York or the Governor of Texas on a Tuesday morning going to attend a wedding?”
