"In politics, you don’t win all the time. So, if he does not have his way this time around, it does not mean he cannot make his way some other time. It’s his decision anyway," Vanguard newspaper quoted him as saying.
Meanwhile, the Movement For New Nigeria (MNN), has blasted Senator Ademola Adeleke, representing Osun west senatorial district, over his incessant display of dancing skills wherever he goes.
The socio political group, in a statement by Comrade Sunday Kelani, its national coordinator, noted that the senator has taken it as a tradition to dance at any event he attends instead of contributing meaningfully to national issues as a lawmaker of Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Kelani criticized the Osun state senator for “taking the dignity of legislature for granted”, adding that he is no more a private person, but a public office holder of high echelon in Nigeria.
