Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC) over what he described as attempts to frustrate the political progress of his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Davido made the remarks amid heightened political activity ahead of the August 15 governorship election in Osun State.
The singer praised the Adeleke administration while reacting to the governor’s projects and campaign activities, describing his political journey as a “God’s project”.
Davido’s intervention adds a celebrity dimension to an already fiercely contested election, with the singer having repeatedly shown support for his uncle’s political career.
The latest comments followed attention around the inauguration of the Lagere Flyover and other infrastructure projects undertaken by the Adeleke administration.
Davido accused the APC of attempting to stop what he considers progress in Osun, while insisting that such efforts would not succeed.
The singer’s comments have attracted significant attention online because of his huge following and his family connection to the incumbent governor.
The Adeleke family has remained highly visible in Osun politics, with Davido frequently using his platform to support the governor and encourage residents to participate in the electoral process.
The APC, meanwhile, has continued its campaign against the incumbent administration, with its candidate Bola Oyebamiji seeking to unseat Adeleke.
The contest has generated considerable political activity, including allegations, counter-allegations and competing claims over the governor’s record in office.
Davido’s latest intervention therefore adds another layer to the campaign battle as the election approaches.
The singer’s support is not a substitute for votes at the polling units, but his public influence has made him one of the most prominent celebrity voices in the Osun political contest.
