Davido receives a response from Governor Uzodimma's spokesman over his appeal as Ademola Adeleke seeks second term. Davido told to direct his appeal elsewhere"His appeal should be directed to the people of Osun State, who are the ones that will ultimately decide the outcome of the election through their votes," the statement read. The spokesman argued that Davido was appealing to Uzodimma simply because his wife, Chioma, is from Imo state, calling that reasoning "rather pedestrian." "Rather than attempting to influence Governor Hope Uzodimma through emotional appeals, Davido should concentrate on helping his uncle prepare for life after office," the statement said. The Osun governorship election is scheduled to hold on August 15, 2026, with the APC and the incumbent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) locked in a tight contest for control of the state.
