Prepare to sign your uncle as a dancer in your music band after his loses Aug 15 election- Gov Uzodinma replies Davido

Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has responded to comments made by Afrobeats star David “Davido” Adeleke, who called on an unnamed politician to give room for a free and fair governorship election in Osun State.

Davido’s uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke is seeking re-election. On Wednesday, August 5, Davido, held a press conference where he said he had heard rumours that a politician from Imo State planned to interfere in the election. Although the singer did not name anyone, he alleged that the politician intended to use the August 15 governorship election as a political battleground to prove a point.

He urged the individual to promote peace instead and allow the people of Osun State to freely choose their preferred candidate.

However, in a statement issued through his Senior Special Assistant on Electronic and Creative Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, the Governor urged the singer to direct his appeal to the electorate rather than to him. He also asked Davido to get ready to employ his Uncle as one of his dancers after he loses the August 15 state governorship election.

Part of the statement reads

“The reality is that Governor Ademola Adeleke has, in the opinion of many, failed woefully in the discharge of his responsibilities. This is why many Osun voters are determined to vote him out in the August 15, 2026, governorship election. The signals emerging from across Osun State are clear. There is a growing indication that a significant number of voters have rejected the current administration and are prepared to embrace a new direction.

Rather than attempting to influence Governor Hope Uzodimma through emotional appeals, Davido should concentrate on helping his uncle prepare for life after office, as the people of Osun appear ready to cast their votes massively in favour of the APC candidate.

Perhaps, Davido should also begin making preparations to officially sign his uncle as a dancer in his musical band, because judging by the mood of the electorate, he may well be out of a political job after the August 15, 2026, governorship election.”
