‘You insulted Osun people, spat on their sacrifice’ – Adeleke, Davido under fire over Tinubu, APC support

Osun state Governor Ademola Adeleke and his nephew Davido, also known as David Adeleke, have faced intense criticism on social media for their support of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria's upcoming presidential election in 2027. The controversy stems from the governor's pledge to deliver Osun State to Tinubu, the APC Presidential Candidate, and the fact that the governor was included in the APC Presidential Campaign Council and appointed coordinator of the City Boy Movement in Osun.

The backlash intensified when it was revealed that Davido had made several tweets against the APC in the past, including one that stated, "Anybody supporting APC in Osun is an enemy of progress." This tweet has resurfaced and sparked outrage among social media users who claim the governor and his nephew are hypocritical for supporting the very party that they once criticized.

Many Nigerians have taken to social media to express their disappointment and frustration with the Adeleke family's decision to support APC. Some users pointed out the sacrifices made by Osun residents during the last gubernatorial election, including the loss of family members and the struggle for progress. They argue that supporting the very party that caused such hardships is a betrayal of the people's trust.

In response to the criticism, several users questioned the logic behind the governor and his nephew's actions. They argued that if they truly despised the APC, their support for it would be inconsistent with their previous stance. Others accused the Adeleke family of prioritizing their own political ambitions over the well-being of the Osun people, likening their actions to selling their political allegiance for personal gain.

As the debate continues to unfold, many Nigerians remain unsure of how to interpret the Adeleke family's decision. Some maintain that politics is a complex game and that sometimes strategic alliances are necessary for progress. Others, however, remain skeptical, questioning the sincerity of the governor and his nephew's motives.
