‘It Is Embarrassing’: Nigerians React As Gov. Adeleke’s UK Speech Video Goes Viral




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpdGfbCa7jw

A video showing Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke reading from a prepared speech during an investment meeting at the UK House of Commons has gone viral, sparking a flurry of mixed reactions, with many Nigerians describing the moment as “embarrassing.”

In the now widely circulated clip, the Governor is seen reading his speech from a paper in a manner that many viewers have described as uncoordinated and lacking fluency.

The moment, which occurred during a meeting hosted by the UK Prime Minister’s Envoy on Trade and Investment, Rt. Hon. Florence Eshalomi MP, has since gone viral online with many criticizing the Governor.

On Facebook, Nigerians have not held back. “It is embarrassing. The lady beside the Governor couldn’t hold herself together. In her mind, she was probably thinking: what a disaster is this?” said @ Thompson Taiwo.

“Very irritating, Hon Teslim Igbalaye would have done better,” added @Jake Luis Olooto.

Another user, @Virtue Yusuff Olatunji Akeem, lamented, “This is extremely bad, iwe kika se wa di wahala.”

Meanwhile, @Freemandate Olatunji Abidoye questioned, “Who recorded the video? Who leaked it to the public? Where’s the Governor’s CPS?”

The Governor had used the occasion to urge the British government to strengthen subnational investment in Nigeria, identifying Osun as the “heartland of South Western Nigeria.”

He highlighted the state’s investment potential in sectors such as mining, agriculture, digital economy, and the creative industry, while also citing reforms aimed at improving the ease of doing business.

A major highlight of the visit was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Osun State Government and ESG Management Services UK Limited.

The agreement is expected to facilitate investments from UK-based companies into Osun’s key economic sectors.

One of the worst governors to date, he rose to power largely due to his family's name and wealth. During the election campaign, his nephew, Davido, leveraged his social status to intimidate anyone opposing this incompetent governor. However, this disgraceful behavior is unlikely to gain traction among Obidunce supporters because he is regarded as one of the "friendly governors." If it were the new governor of Edo, those troublemakers would have inundated social media with words, pictures, and videos mocking and ridiculing him.

Well he didn’t finish secondary school initially. He presented a forged certificate. For someone from a
Wealthy family not to finish secondary school, it’s a big sign that he’s a dullard. He came back with certificate and Osun people voted him gladly because of Davido jumping up and down. When you are shallow and stupid, you will get stupid leaders.

Mr F9 is here demonstrating his F9 to the World.

Assuming without conceding to the "doctoring" claim on the viral video clip of Osun state Governor in United Kingdom where he found it difficult to read an already scripted speech of his while meeting the envoy of the prime Minister of UK 🇬🇧 Government , was the action of those on both the right and left sides doctored too?

Let's call a spade, a spade.... The man is incompetent in some areas. Everything is not money, you need self upgrading just for days like this.

nope, Tinubu speaks well unlike Adeleke the clueless dullard. Adeleke is just disgracing Osun people in the diaspora. Worse here. You can’t even pick what he’s saying. He gaffes too.

If the only issue is his speech then, there is nothing wrong with "The dancing governor". Even though i don't know much about him, i think he is one of the humblest governor in Nigeria. He always give God the glory for his success. He is the King David of our time.

Another user, @Virtue Yusuff Olatunji Akeem, lamented, “This is extremely bad, iwe kika se wa di wahala.”
