Governor Adeleke Travels To U.S. For Davido’s Wedding

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has travelled to the United States to attend the wedding of his nephew and music superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.

Davido had earlier confirmed that he and his wife, Chioma Avril Rowland, would be holding their white wedding in Miami, Florida, in August 2025. The announcement was made during an interview on The Breakfast Club aired on Tuesday, April 8, 2025.

Amid questions from the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) over the governor’s whereabouts, his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, released a statement on Tuesday confirming the trip.

“Governor Adeleke left Nigeria for the United States via the family’s private jet a few days ago for the wedding of the global music icon, his beloved nephew, David Adeleke,” the statement read.

He further extended an invitation to members of the opposition to join the celebration, either in person or virtually. “His Excellency is extending an invitation to the opposition party to attend the event and share in the joy of the occasion with the Adeleke family. Those unable to attend may join virtually.”

Rasheed also clarified that Governor Adeleke has not taken any official vacation since assuming office in November 2022, and assured the public that the current trip would be brief.

“For this current trip, the Governor has again chosen to make it a short one to continually attend to crucial state functions,” he said.

He added that the governor remains in constant communication with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, who is overseeing the day-to-day activities of the government in his absence.
