DAVIDO COULD ONE DAY BECOME GOVERNOR OF OSUN – BEN MURRAY-BRUCE
By: Motunrayo Aniwura
Former Senator for Bayelsa East, Ben Murray-Bruce, has forecast that Afrobeats icon David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, could eventually become the Governor of Osun State.
In a recent edition of his Common Sense series, Murray-Bruce expressed confidence that Davido would thrive in politics, citing the strong political background of the Adeleke family.
He said, “David Adeleke, the global phenomenon better known as Davido, is undeniably an international artist and a true Nigerian superstar. He stands as one of Nigeria’s most valuable cultural exports. However, beneath the surface of this music icon lies a side that many may not be aware of.
“He is, by his own admission, a political animal with deeply held views and a clear-cut political ideology. This revelation, which came to light through a personal discussion, perhaps, shouldn’t be entirely surprising when you consider the DNA of the Adeleke family. His uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the Governor of Osun State. Furthermore, his uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, also served as a former Governor of Osun State during Ibrahim Babangida’s military administration.

“Considering all of these, the thought that Davido himself could one day aspire to become the Governor of Osun State seems more like a potential trajectory, especially if his political inclinations are nurtured and strategically channelled. Here in Nigeria, there is a growing sentiment that more entertainers should consider seeking political positions. Their ability to connect with the different demographics could inject fresh perspectives and dynamism into the political landscape. Davido, if you run, I predict you will win.”
