Nigerian singer Davido has publicly clashed with former Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola after the politician shared a post welcoming top All Progressives Congress (APC) heavyweights to the state ahead of the governorship election. The exchange occurred on social media, where Oyetola had posted a video celebrating the arrival of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Governor Hope Uzodimma, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Governor Uba Sani, and the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, among other party leaders, for a campaign mega rally in Osogbo.
Oyetola's Welcome Post and Davido's Sharp Response
In his post, Oyetola wrote: "It is a pleasure to welcome the Senate President, His Excellency Godswill Akpabio; Governor Hope Uzodimma; Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa; Governor Uba Sani; other distinguished Governors, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; party leaders, stakeholders and other dignitaries to Osun State for the APC Governorship Campaign Mega Rally in Osogbo. As members and supporters of the APC family converge in Osogbo, we look forward to a peaceful, vibrant and successful campaign event."
Davido was not having any of it. Responding directly to the post, the music star dismissed the show of political force entirely, writing: "If you like gather Jesus 12 disciples o ma LULE for the 3rd time !!!" The comment was a pointed reference to the APC candidate losing the Osun governorship contest for a third time, suggesting that no amount of political firepower would change the outcome.
Political Context and Reactions from Fans
Davido's uncle, Ademola Adeleke, currently serves as the Governor of Osun State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which gives the singer's political commentary added weight in the state. The post stirred up plenty of conversation online, with followers split between amusement and criticism.

Wow. that's a dangerously confused sense of reasoning. Imagine contradicting the very person you claim to worship and still feeling proud of that your dancing uncle with nothing to show as project?"
Legit.ng had reported that Nigerian singer Davido had publicly mocked Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo over a tweet the governor shared on August 10, 2026. Davido's jab appeared to be part of an ongoing feud between the singer and the governor, following reports that Okpebholo made comments about Davido's uncle. The clash with Oyetola adds another layer to Davido's active involvement in political discourse as the Osun governorship election approaches.
