  "account": "Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo ridiculed Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke's dancing during an APC campaign rally, urging voters to collect cash from opponents but vote for the All Progressives Congress in the upcoming election. The Edo governor claimed Adeleke's dancing was a distraction from his leadership. Okpebholo also linked Adeleke to former Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki, suggesting both should be rejected by voters. Addressing allegations of voter bribery, Okpebholo advised supporters to collect the money but not vote for the Accord Party. Describing Oyebamiji as the leader Osun needed, Okpebholo criticized the state's road conditions, asking if they were \"the dancing road or the dancing governor's road.\" He concluded by encouraging the crowd to support the APC at the polls.",
