CHIVIDO 2024: You’re A Disgrace, Uche Maduagwu Slams Gov Adeleke For Attending Davido’s Wedding

Published

Controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has condemned Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, for neglecting his official duties to attend his nephew, singer Davido’s wedding in Lagos today.

Biztellers reports that Governor Adeleke, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, were among the dignitaries present at Davido and Chioma’s lavish wedding on Tuesday.

In a video message shared on his Instagram account, Maduagwu specifically castigated Governor Adeleke for attending a wedding on a workday.

He stated, “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?”

Maduagwu’s remarks have sparked a debate about the appropriateness of public officials attending personal events during working hours, highlighting concerns over governance and accountability in the country.
