Among the dignitaries at the event, including Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and a bevy of high-profile personalities, Obasanjo and Adeleke stole the spotlight as they battled for the best dancer.

In the now-viral footage, the former president accompanying the newlyweds to the stage playfully beckoned Governor Adeleke, affectionately known as the “dancing governor,” to join him in a dance-off.

“I will call on Governor Ademola Adeleke; you must dance up here. Dance up here!” Obasanjo said.

Governor Adeleke who was all smiles, wasted no time as he gracefully made his way to the stage.
