Davido's Concerts Face Boycott Amid Uncle's Political Support
Nigerian singer David Adeleke, known as Davido, is facing calls for a boycott of his planned December concerts in Lagos. This backlash follows his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, announcing support for President Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.
The governor, a member of the Accord Party, declared his support during the inauguration of Tinubu's campaign council at the State House in Abuja. This decision has led to mixed reactions, especially among those who expected Governor Adeleke to oppose the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Davido had previously criticized the APC during the Osun governorship election campaign. He announced a three-night concert titled Oriadè: The Residency at the National Theatre in Lagos from December 17 to 19, celebrating his 15-year career.
However, the political implications of his uncle's support have caused some fans to threaten to boycott the shows, linking their attendance to the Adeleke family's political choices.
