The challenge, started by skit maker Chukwuebuka Amuzie, the Nigerian comedian known as Brain Jotter, won the hearts of many Nigerians, especially after the over 90-year-old singer behind the song, Mike Ejeagha, received goodwill from netizens.
The governor brought the dance video to life, singing and smiling as he raised his leg to replicate the popular dance. See his video below:

Meanwhile, in his remarks while briefing journalists at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia, to mark the 33rd anniversary of the state’s creation, Soludo insisted that his administration had no plans to borrow any money to fund its budget.
He said the state would only borrow for bankable projects with a high probability of generating returns to repay the debt.
The governor described the reports claiming that the state government was planning to borrow N245 billion to fund the 2024 budget as false, stating that his administration could not borrow such an amount while running a deficit of N121 billion for the 2024 appropriation.
Brainjotter gifts Mike Ejeagha N2 million
Legit.ng earlier reported that skit maker Brainjotter gave Ejeagha financial compensation for dancing to his song.
According to a screenshot shared on social media, the skit maker sent the veteran singer N2 million.
Some Nigerians, however, argued that Brainjotter's N2m donation was too small and did not justify using Ejeagba's song without his consent.
