Monday, May 12, 2025 - Former Bayelsa East senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, has predicted that Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, will one day become the Governor of Osun State.
Speaking in a recent episode of his Common Sense series,
Murray-Bruce stated that Davido would succeed if he ventured into politics,
given the Adeleke family’s political pedigree.
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.”
