Ben Murray-Bruce, a media entrepreneur and former senator from Bayelsa East, is adamant that Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, may become the governor of Osun State.

Ben Murray-Bruce recently emphasised Davido’s deep political ties and interest in governance in an episode of his “Common Sense” series.

“David Adeleke, the global phenomenon better known as Davido, is undeniably an international artist and a true Nigerian superstar. He stands as one of Nigeria’s most valuable cultural exports. However, beneath the surface of this music icon lies a side that many may not be aware of,” Murray-Bruce said.

According to the former senator, Davido referred to himself as a “political animal” with clear ideological inclinations in a private meeting.

Murray-Bruce asserts that considering the Adeleke family’s significant political influence in Osun State, this shouldn’t be shocking.

The late Isiaka Adeleke was the governor of Osun State during General Ibrahim Babangida’s military rule, and Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is currently the state’s governor.

“Considering all of these, the thought that Davido himself could one day aspire to become the Governor of Osun State seems more like a potential trajectory. Especially if his political inclinations are nurtured and strategically channelled,” Murray-Bruce added.

“Davido, if you run, I predict you will win,” he concluded confidently.
