Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke took to Instagram to celebrate his daughter Omolola Adeleke's university graduation, a post that drew attention days after social media activist Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), claimed he rejected a ₦50 million offer linked to the Adeleke family.

The timing of the governor's post drew added attention on social media, coming shortly after VDM alleged that he was offered ₦50 million to campaign for Governor Adeleke and turned it down.

Ask wetin I tell them. A lot of people will be happy; you no wetin be N50 million? I bounce am."
He also revealed that his last direct exchange with Davido concerned a Ghanaian fan the singer had promised $5,000, and that he reached out via DM to ensure the payment was made after people began questioning him about it.
