In the widely circulated footage, Governor Adeleke—well known for his energetic dance moves and lively public appearances—was seen performing Salat alongside fellow worshippers.

As anticipated, the video quickly gained momentum on social media, stirring discussions. While some found it noteworthy, others mocked his style of prostration during prayer.

Recall that Mercy Aigbe, a veteran Nollywood actress and producer, has openly shared her experience of converting from Christianity to Islam, describing the transition as initially challenging.
In an interview on WasilaCoded TV’s Iriri Mi show, Aigbe reflected on her spiritual journey and the decision to embrace Islam after over 40 years as a Christian.
Renowned for her roles in Yoruba films, the actress revealed that her choice was driven by a desire for unity in her marriage. Before tying the knot, Aigbe was a devout Christian, while her husband practiced Islam.
Despite their differing religious backgrounds, she chose to convert to Islam to strengthen family bonds. She clarified that her husband never pressured her into the decision; instead, she arrived at it independently after careful thought and introspection.
