Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke has playfully urged his daughter Nike to find a spouse and get married soon.
During a Q&A session on her Instagram page, Nike asked her father how he felt about her being single at 28, a question that prompted a humorous and heartfelt response from the governor.
“I am now 28 and I am about to be 29. How do you feel about me not being married yet?” she asked her dad.
The Governor, who got married at 27 and had Nike’s brother, Adesina soon after, reminded his daughter that she is not getting younger and encouraged her to start thinking about settling down.
The Governor gave her “one more year” to tie the knot, adding that she was not getting younger.
“Better start getting ready to get married. That is the next thing. You think you are young? I am expecting all those toasters, better bring one so you can come and tell me dad this is the one I am going to marry,” he said.
“Do you know that at the age of 27, 28 I got married and I had your brother Adesina? You are now 28, I am giving you one more year.”
Adeleke’s lighthearted remarks were met with laughter and appreciation from Nike, who seemed to enjoy the playful exchange with her father.
