CHIVIDO2024: Uche Maduagwu criticizes Osun Governor Adeleke for going to Davido’s wedding in
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Governor Adeleke‘s choice to attend Davido’s wedding above his official responsibilities as the governor of Osun State has drawn criticism from Uche Maduagwu.
Along with well-known people including former Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Governor Adeleke attended the opulent wedding ceremony in Lagos on Tuesday.
Uche Maduagwu questioned the Governor’s decision to attend a wedding on a workday in an Instagram video, emphasizing the value of upholding professionalism and commitment to public service.
Governor Adeleke’s conduct, according to Maduagwu, could set a bad example for others and erode the respect that comes with holding public office.
He asked whether the managing director of a bank would take time off on a weekday to attend a wedding, drawing further comparisons between this scenario and the private sector.
Maduagwu further highlighted the distinction in conduct between Governor Adeleke and other prominent figures, such the governors of Texas and New York, who would not put attending a wedding ahead of their official duties.
According to 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?”
