Musical artist David Adeleke, widely recognized as Davido, stated that he was present during a phone exchange between President Bola Tinubu and Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke. This conversation occurred regarding the upcoming August 15, 2026, gubernatorial race in the state.
During the call, President Tinubu instructed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to lift the freeze currently placed on the Osun State government bank accounts. This detail was initially shared publicly by Bayo Onanuga, an aide to the President, through a social media update on Thursday.
Davido, who is the governor’s nephew, confirmed his presence during the interaction, noting on social media that he saw the event unfold. The singer has previously expressed confidence in his own political prospects, asserting that he would be difficult to defeat in a fair electoral contest.
