Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has traveled to the United States to attend the wedding of his nephew, globally celebrated Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
Davido had earlier confirmed that he and his wife, Chioma Avril Rowland, will hold their white wedding in Miami, Florida, in August 2025. He made the announcement during an interview on The Breakfast Club on April 8, 2025.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, addressed concerns from the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) over Adeleke’s whereabouts. He explained that the governor departed Nigeria for the U.S. a few days ago aboard the family’s private jet to celebrate with his nephew.
Rasheed extended an open invitation to the opposition party to join in the festivities, either in person or virtually. He also noted that Governor Adeleke has not taken any official leave since assuming office in November 2022, emphasizing that this trip will be brief so he can quickly resume state duties.
The spokesperson added that Adeleke remains in constant communication with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, who is overseeing government activities in his absence.
