Adeleke Grants Davido Official Appointment

Nigerian music star Davido has confirmed his appointment as Head of Youth Mobilisation for the re-election campaign council of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke. According to Ireporter Online, the announcement was made via the singer’s official page on X, where he expressed confidence in the governor’s chances at the polls and optimism about a seamless campaign process.

In his message, Davido conveyed appreciation for the role while reaffirming support for Governor Adeleke’s second-term bid, signaling a strong youth-focused strategy ahead of the election.

Meanwhile, the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has reacted to allegations by the governor accusing its council officials of misappropriating funds meant for local government workers. Governor Adeleke had earlier claimed that funds running into hundreds of billions of naira had been diverted, forcing his administration to take on the financial responsibility of paying salaries for teachers, healthcare workers, pensioners, and other local government staff for over a year.

The governor further criticized the alleged diversion, stating that his administration could not abandon workers despite financial strain, emphasizing the welfare of affected families and condemning what he described as unjust treatment of public servants.

However, the APC, through its Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, dismissed the allegations and accused the governor of attempting to incite senior local government officials. The party alleged that the administration was influencing workers to withhold payment documentation as part of a broader effort to discredit the opposition.
