Davido Backs Uncle Adeleke as Osun Election Heats Up

As the Osun State governorship election draws near, renowned musician Davido has publicly declared his support for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke. The musician took to his social media platform to express his optimism about the upcoming election, posting photos of himself and the governor sharing a warm moment. In his post, Davido wrote, 'We got this #aadeleke_01 God got us.' This show of support comes at a time when the political landscape in Osun State is filled with tension and intense rivalry among major stakeholders. The singer used the opportunity to appeal to the residents of Osun State to shun violence and intimidation during the election, urging political leaders to ensure a peaceful electoral process. His message was clear: the election should be about the people's choice, not influenced by violence or coercion. However, not everyone is pleased with Governor Adeleke's candidacy. Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has expressed doubt about Adeleke's chances, advising Davido to prepare his uncle for life after office. Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo also joined in, teasing the governor about his love for dancing and advising voters to collect money from opponents but vote for the All Progressives Congress. Undeterred, Governor Adeleke remains focused on his mission, stating that the election is not just about winning but sending a strong message to the APC about respecting the electorate. This comes amidst a dispute between his administration and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which recently placed a restriction on the state government's account, just days before the election.
