Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has travelled to the United States to attend the wedding ceremony of his nephew and singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
The music star and his wife, Chioma Avril Rowland, will have their white wedding in Miami, Florida, in August 2025.
The governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday, August 5, after the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State accused Adeleke of leaving the state without formally transmitting power to his deputy.
“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,” Rasheed stated.
“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.”
He noted that Adeleke had not taken any official vacation since assuming office in November 2022 and said the current trip would be short.
Additionally, from the November 2022 date, the governor has not gone on official vacation.
“For this current trip, the Governor has again chosen to make it a short one to continually attend to crucial state functions.
“Meanwhile, the Governor is in constant communication with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, who is supervising activities of the government,” Rasheed added.
