Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has travelled to the United States to attend the upcoming white wedding of his nephew and award-winning musician, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
The couple, Davido and Chioma Avril Rowland, are set to tie the knot officially in a white wedding ceremony scheduled to hold in Miami, Florida, later this August. Davido first confirmed the event during an interview on The Breakfast Club, which aired on April 8, 2025.
Following questions raised by the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the governor’s absence, his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, released a statement on Tuesday confirming his departure.
“Governor Adeleke left Nigeria for the United States via the family’s private jet a few days ago for the wedding of the global music icon, his beloved nephew, David Adeleke,” Rasheed said.
“His Excellency is extending an invitation to the opposition party to attend the event and share in the joy of the occasion with the Adeleke family.
“Those unable to attend may join virtually,” he added.
Rasheed clarified that Governor Adeleke has not taken any official leave since he assumed office in November 2022, and noted that the current trip would not be lengthy.
“Additionally, from the November 2022 date, the governor has not gone on official vacation.
“For this current trip, the Governor has again chosen to make it a short one to continually attend to crucial state functions.
“Meanwhile, the Governor is in constant communication with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, who is supervising activities of the government,” the statement concluded.
