- Dr. Adedeji Adeleke was filmed aboard a private jet by Davido's cousin Tunji Adeleke on October 22
- The Nigerian billionaire's relaxed, low-key demeanour on the luxury aircraft caught the attention of many online
- Social media users could not stop talking about how the business mogul carried himself despite his enormous wealth
A video capturing Nigerian billionaire Dr. Adedeji Adeleke aboard a private jet has gone viral, with social media users buzzing over his remarkably understated behaviour on the luxurious aircraft.
The clip, shared on Thursday, October 22, by politician and Davido family member Tunji Adeleke, showed the business mogul seated comfortably in a cream leather chair. Dressed simply in a dark jacket, striped trousers, sneakers, and a black cap, Dr. Adeleke was focused on his phone before glancing up to flash a smile as Tunji called out to him. According to Tunji, the two were on their way to Canada at the time.

What truly caught people's attention was not the jet itself, but the composed, almost understated manner in which the tycoon occupied the space, giving little indication of the extraordinary wealth he commands.
Dr. Adeleke is the founder of Adeleke University and serves as CEO of Pacific Holdings Limited. His business empire covers several sectors including power generation, real estate, oil and gas, and education, making him one of Nigeria's most accomplished entrepreneurs. While his son, Afrobeats superstar David "Davido" Adeleke, commands massive public attention, the elder Adeleke has long preferred to stay out of the spotlight.
