Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and his family have come under fire from Nigerian political activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore for their political actions and purported support of President Bola Tinubu.

In response to rumours that Davido, the governor’s cousin, disapproved of Adeleke’s choice to support Tinubu for a second term, Sowore made the comments in a widely shared post on X.

The activist recalled that he had previously criticised Adeleke, claiming that the governor lacked political acumen. He asserted that Davido had reacted angrily to the comment at the time.

The reported dispute between Davido and Adeleke regarding Tinubu’s endorsement, according to Sowore, was in line with his prior worries regarding the family’s political decisions.

However, he questioned if Nigerians should accept Davido’s most recent stance, pointing to the singer’s earlier choice to remove a post in which he declared he would not back Tinubu for another term.

“I stated categorically that Governor Ademola Adeleke @AAdeleke_01 empty upstairs. Of course, his loud and lousy cousin, @Davido, couldn’t take it and went on a rant.

“But I wasn’t speaking merely because I oppose political idiocy; perhaps I was being clairvoyant. I’m now reading that @Davido “allegedly” disagrees with his uncle’s endorsement of Tinubu @officialabat for a ruinous second term as Nigeria’s president.

“But you can you trust @Davido on this. This is the same @Davido who deleted his tweet saying he would not support Tinubu for a disastrous second term.

“At the end of the day, Nigerians should watch what they do, not merely what they say.”

Sowore further claimed that rather than being motivated by public service, the Adeleke family’s political actions were motivated by personal and familial interests.

He asserted that the family’s priorities were preserving its political clout in Osun State and safeguarding its interests in the power industry.

“Their politics revolve around family interests, protecting their stakes in the power sector, their cash cow, and maintaining their grip on Osun State, which they treat like a family jackpot.

“That is not public service. It is politics built around private interests.”

The comments come amid political discussions surrounding the 2027 presidential election and growing attention to the positions of prominent Nigerian political figures and celebrities.
