CHIVIDO 2024: Uche Maduagwu blasts Osun Gov Adeleke for attending Davido’s wedding

Uche Maduagwu has raised concerns regarding Governor Adeleke’s decision to prioritize attending Davido’s wedding over his official duties as the Governor of Osun State.

Governor Adeleke was present at the lavish wedding ceremony in Lagos on Tuesday, alongside notable figures like former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel.

In a video posted on Instagram, Uche Maduagwu questioned the Governor’s choice to attend a wedding on a workday, highlighting the importance of maintaining professionalism and dedication to public service.

Maduagwu pointed out that Governor Adeleke’s actions could set a negative precedent for others and diminish the respect associated with holding a public office.

He further compared this situation to the private sector, asking whether a bank’s Managing Director would leave work to attend a wedding on a weekday.

Additionally, Maduagwu emphasized the difference in behavior between Governor Adeleke and other leaders, such as the Governors of New York and Texas, who would not prioritize attending a wedding over their official responsibilities.

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?”
