Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has travelled to the United States to attend the wedding of his nephew and international music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
The white wedding, set to take place in Miami, Florida, this August, was earlier announced by the artiste during an interview on The Breakfast Club in April.
Amid concerns raised by the state’s opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, confirmed the trip in a statement on Tuesday.
“Governor Adeleke left Nigeria for the United States via the family’s private jet a few days ago for the wedding of the global music icon, his beloved nephew, David Adeleke,” Rasheed stated.
He added that the governor had not taken any official vacation since assuming office in November 2022 and assured that the current trip was a short, personal one. Rasheed also said Adeleke remained in constant communication with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, who is overseeing state affairs in his absence.
Inviting critics to join the celebration, Rasheed said, “His Excellency is extending an invitation to the opposition party to attend the event and share in the joy of the occasion with the Adeleke family. Those unable to attend may join virtually.”
However, the Osun APC accused Adeleke of leaving the state without notifying the public or formally transferring authority to his deputy. In a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, the party described the situation as “abnormal.”
“The question being asked in hushed tones in some public places, inside commercial buses and by motorcycle riders and their passengers in the state, is where could be the whereabouts of their governor for this long,” the APC said.
The party further demanded clarification on whether the governor constitutionally transmitted power to the deputy governor, who is empowered to act in the governor’s absence.
