Entertainment mogul and former Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce has predicted that Afrobeats singer David Adeleke a.k.a Davido will be good to go for governor of Osun State.
Davido’s uncle Ademola Adeleke is currently the governor of the State and often times Davido has chimed into the political happenings in Osun.
In a video shared on his X platform Mr. Ben Murray Bruce suggested that Davido has potentials to be a politician and based on his widespread influence, he could be the man for the job in Osun, if he decides to run for office.
“David Adeleke, the global phenomenon better known as Davido, is undeniably an international artiste and a true Nigerian superstar,” he said.
“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 channeled.
“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.”
