Olumide Akpata, a prominent gubernatorial candidate in the upcoming Edo Election, has electrified the internet with his legendary dance moves to the viral song “Tshwala Bami.”

A video uploaded by the Labour Party gubernatorial candidate showcased his dancing prowess to the viral tune by South African sensations Titom and Yuppe. This smash hit has gained such widespread popularity that if you haven’t heard or grooved to it, you’re metaphorically ‘sleeping on a bicycle.’

Olumide Akpata captioned the video on his official social media pages, stating: “What do you get when my team practically drags me kicking and screaming in front of a camera? A whole lot of awkward posing and cheesy grins! 😄 They begged and pleaded for me to do this photoshoot.

But hey, at least we had fun capturing some new campaign photos (even if I’ll never admit how much I low-key loved it). However, get ready for the real koko of the matter: the unveiling of my vision for an Edo State that works for everyone – beyond photoshoots and cheesy campaign pics. Though my team seems to think those are important too!.”

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time the former NBA President has trended due to his dance moves or playful demeanor. Weeks ago, he became a topic of discussion after footage of his steps to the popular song “Hola Hola” surfaced on the internet.

These viral clips, capturing the playful and unexpected side of Akpata, are evidence that he’s not just about offering fresh ideas in governance or upholding the law. They also reveal his ability to connect with people, lead with humility, and discover new talent in young individuals!

Just as a good dance requires rhythm, timing, and adaptability, effective governance demands a leader who can harmonize diverse interests, navigate complex challenges, and pivot when necessary. Akpata’s willingness to let loose and have fun shows he’s not afraid to be human, and that humility can serve him well in building trust and fostering inclusive decision-making—essential qualities for a successful governor!
