A strongly worded social media post by Afrobeats superstar Davido has come back to haunt him after his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, was linked to President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign council.

During the heat of the 2026 Osun governorship election, Davido took to X (formerly Twitter) to back his uncle's bid, writing:

"Anybody supporting APC in Osun state is an enemy of progress ! Lessons will be learnt this weekend."

Davido's old tweet about APC supporters is below:

The post was made as campaigns peaked ahead of the poll, in which Adeleke of the Accord Party faced off against APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji.

Adeleke went on to win that election. But his subsequent political moves have now cast a long shadow over his nephew's fiery rhetoric.
