Ondo State Governor, Dr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has been hailed online as Nigeria’s “best dancing governor” after a video of his lively performance at a recent event went viral.

The governor, dressed in traditional attire, was captured on camera dazzling the crowd with his energetic dance moves as onlookers cheered and recorded the spectacle. The footage, widely circulated on Instagram and reposted by popular platform Instablog9ja, shows Aiyedatiwa leading a group of dignitaries on the dance floor while maintaining infectious energy.

Observers say the governor’s performance not only lightened the atmosphere but also humanised his public image, showing a different side of political leadership often hidden from formal occasions.

On social media, many Nigerians praised his spirited moves, with some jokingly suggesting he has secured the crown of “Nigeria’s best dancing governor.” Others commended him for bringing joy and vibrancy at a time when citizens are grappling with economic and political challenges.

The clip has since drawn thousands of engagements, reinforcing how cultural expressions especially through dance continue to shape public perception of leaders in Nigeria. (AriseNews TV)
