Celebrity tailor and fashion entrepreneur Seyi Adekunle, widely known as Seyi Vodi, has ignited social media buzz after sharing a video of himself taking the measurements of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, just days before the governorship election scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026.
Vodi posted the video on Wednesday, August 12, with a caption that read simply: "I M O L E," a nod to Governor Adeleke's popular campaign name meaning "light" in Yoruba. The post quickly gathered thousands of reactions, with billionaire socialite Obi Cubana among those who reacted to it.
