Davido Criticises Edo Governor Over Comments Directed At Ademola Adeleke

‎Nigerian musician David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has criticised Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo over remarks made against Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke. ‎ ‎

The political exchange occurred during a campaign rally organized by the All Progressives Congress in Osun State. ‎ ‎

Governor Okpebholo had mocked Governor Adeleke over his public dancing during a speech supporting the ruling party candidate Bola Oyebamiji. ‎ ‎

The musician reacted publicly on social media to defend his uncle following the campaign remarks. ‎ ‎ ‎

Davido stated that public governance requires measurable performance rather than personal attacks on political rivals. ‎ ‎

Supporters of the Osun governor praised the musician for speaking out against the Edo governor. ‎ ‎

‎Members of the ruling party defended Governor Okpebholo, describing his comments as standard political campaign rhetoric. ‎ ‎ ‎

The governorship election campaign in Osun State has generated intense rivalry among major political parties. ‎ ‎ ‎

Political observers note that celebrity involvement continues to shape public discourse ahead of the state elections. ‎ ‎

Neither the Osun State government nor the Edo State government has issued an official joint statement regarding the exchange. ‎ ‎

Efforts to reach spokesperson representatives from both state administrations for further comments remain ongoing. ‎ ‎

The situation remains developing as political activities heighten across the state.
