Davido could one day become Governor of Osun – Ben Bruce
Nigerian politics might just get a whole lot more rhythmic if Ben Murray-Bruce’s prediction comes true. The former Bayelsa East senator recently dropped a fascinating take: Afrobeats megastar Davido (David Adeleke) could one day become the Governor of Osun State!
Why This Prediction Isn’t Far-Fetched
The Adeleke Political Dynasty
Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current Governor of Osun.
Another uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, was Governor in the ‘90s under Babangida’s regime.
Clearly, politics runs in the family—so why not Davido?
Davido’s Own Political Leanings
Murray-Bruce revealed that behind the global superstar persona, Davido is a “political animal” with strong ideological views.
If he ever decides to run, his massive youth appeal and grassroots connection could be a game-changer.
Entertainers in Politics: A Growing Trend?
From Banky W (who ran for office) to Yul Edochie, Nigerian entertainers are testing the political waters.
Murray-Bruce argues that artists bring fresh energy and cross-generational influence—something Nigerian politics desperately needs.
Davido for Governor? Here’s What Could Happen…
Pros:
Youth Mobilization: Davido’s fanbase (the 30BG gang) could translate into a formidable voting bloc.
Global Network: His international reach could attract investment and spotlight to Osun.
Brand Power: Unlike career politicians, he’s already a household name with little need for introduction.

Cons:
Skepticism: Some might question if his celebrity translates to governance skills.
Political Battles: Nigerian politics is a tough arena—even for seasoned players.
Final Thought: Should Davido Run?
Murray-Bruce ended with a bold “If you run, I predict you will win.” Whether or not Davido takes the plunge, one thing’s clear: Nigerian politics is evolving, and entertainers might just be the wildcard it needs.
