Davido made headlines after accompanying his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and his father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke, on a courtesy visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos.

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, drew massive attention on Tuesday evening after accompanying his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and his father, billionaire businessman Chief Adedeji Adeleke, on a private visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Lagos.

The high-profile meeting took place at the President’s private residence in Ikoyi and was made public by the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, who shared photos and updates via his verified X handle.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu receives in audience, H.E. Ademola Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun State, and Chief Adedeji Adeleke at his residence in Lagos,” Olusegun wrote.

Though the details of the closed-door meeting were not disclosed, insiders described the atmosphere as warm and cordial, with the President continuing his efforts to foster dialogue across political divides.

While the visit itself carried political undertones, especially given Governor Adeleke’s position as a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader in a state where recent shifts have seen defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), it was Davido’s presence that captured public attention.

Social media platforms buzzed with reactions to the singer’s appearance at the meeting, with many viewing it as a powerful moment of generational and bipartisan connection. Davido, whose influence transcends music into politics and social commentary, is no stranger to the country’s power circles but rarely makes public appearances at such political gatherings.

The visit comes at a time when Osun’s political scene is heating up, with speculations swirling around alignments ahead of the 2027 elections. Notably, all three senators from Osun State, elected on the PDP platform, pledged their support for President Tinubu last month, and several federal lawmakers have since defected to the APC.

While no official statement has linked Tuesday’s meeting to the political realignments, the images of Davido alongside his father and uncle in the company of the President sent a clear message of unity, dialogue, and evolving political dynamics in Nigeria.
