ABUJA, Nigeria — African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate and activist Omoyele Sowore has criticized Afrobeats star David Adeleke (Davido) and his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, following reports surrounding the governor’s endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking during a political interview following the Osun State governorship election, Sowore reflected on past online spats with the music star regarding the performance and governance record of the Osun State administration.
Past Feud and Governance Criticisms
Sowore recounted an earlier exchange on X (formerly Twitter) where Davido confronted him after Sowore publicly questioned the level of infrastructure and administrative progress in Osun State under Governor Adeleke.
Sowore stated that his initial observations regarding the governor’s performance had been validated by recent political developments, particularly after Governor Adeleke expressed political support for President Tinubu ahead of future electoral cycles.
Key points highlighted by Sowore during his address included:
- Infrastructure Assessment: Sowore maintained that during his visits to Osun State, he observed minimal developmental impact across key sectors.
- Political Endorsements: He sharply criticized Governor Adeleke’s public alignment with President Tinubu, arguing that endorsing the current federal administration contradicts the governance expectations of the electorate.
- Online Confrontations: Sowore noted that public figures who defend political family members online often ignore underlying governance realities and administrative shortcomings.
Reactions and Political Fallout
Sowore’s comments come amid intense political discourse surrounding post-election realignments, party alignments, and federal-state relations. Neither Governor Adeleke’s media team nor representatives for Davido have issued a formal public response to Sowore’s latest remarks.
