Nigerian musician David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has launched a blistering online attack against the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, accusing him of being desperate and plotting a controversial political scheme ahead of the upcoming Osun State gubernatorial race.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the Afrobeat superstar did not mince words as he called out the former Osun State governor. In a series of viral posts that instantly ignited intense political discussions online, Davido labeled Oyetola the “most desperate politician in the world,” describing his alleged maneuvers as deeply embarrassing. Fiercely defending the political territory of his uncle, the incumbent Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, Davido wrote:
“The most desperate politician in the world is @GboyegaOyetola very embarrassing… OYETOLA UR PLAN NO GO WORK.”
While the singer did not explicitly detail the exact nature of the minister’s alleged plot, the sudden outbursts come amid mounting political tension and early maneuvering by major political parties in Osun State ahead of the next governorship election cycle. The public clash marks a continuation of the long-standing, bitter political rivalry between the Adeleke family and Oyetola’s camp.
During the historic 2022 Osun gubernatorial election, Davido was a frontline campaigner for his uncle, frequently clashing with Oyetola online and insisting on a clean democratic process. With the minister reportedly mobilizing the All Progressives Congress (APC) structure to reclaim the state from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Davido’s early social media offensive signals that the battle for the soul of Osun State is already heating up, with the music icon fully prepared to utilize his massive global platform to protect his family’s political legacy.
