Afrobeats superstar Davido has suggested that his family might shift focus back to major business ventures if his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, were to lose the forthcoming Osun governorship election.
The comment came amid online discussions about Governor Adeleke’s political future following his recent defection to the Accord Party.
An X user, Lurvy, speculated on the drama surrounding the governor, to which another user, Whemimor, replied: “If e lose na Davido go compose song for APC during 2027 campaign.”
Davido quoted Whemimor’s tweet with a pointed response, hinting at the vast wealth of the Adeleke family beyond politics:
“Or we can just go back to our multi-billion dollar company …”
The singer’s comment reinforces the narrative that the Adeleke family’s primary source of wealth is rooted in their long-standing business enterprises, providing a safety net regardless of political outcomes.
Meanwhile, Governor Adeleke recently emerged as the governorship candidate of the Accord Party for the 2026 election, securing the nomination after polling 145 votes in the party primary.
Announcing the result, the Secretary of the electoral committee, Abdulazeez Salaudeen, declared the winner:
“Having the highest number of votes, I declare Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the primary,” Salaudeen said.
