Ben Murray-Bruce, the ex-senator from Bayelsa East and media entrepreneur, firmly believes that popular Afrobeats artist Davido has the potential to become the Governor of Osun State in the future.
In a recent episode of his “Common Sense” series, Murray-Bruce pointed out Davido’s strong political background and interest in governance.
“David Adeleke, the global phenomenon better known as Davido, is undeniably an international artist and a true Nigerian superstar. He stands as one of Nigeria’s most valuable cultural exports. However, beneath the surface of this music icon lies a side that many may not be aware of,” Murray-Bruce said.
Ben Murray-Bruce shared that Davido had expressed his political ambitions in a private conversation, describing himself as a “political animal” with clear ideological views. Murray-Bruce noted that this is not surprising considering the prominent political presence of Davido’s family in Osun State.
Davido’s uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, currently holds the Governor position in Osun State, and his late uncle Isiaka Adeleke previously served as the state’s governor during General Ibrahim Babangida’s military regime.
“Considering all of these, the thought that Davido himself could one day aspire to become the Governor of Osun State seems more like a potential trajectory. Especially if his political inclinations are nurtured and strategically channelled,” Murray-Bruce added.
“Davido, if you run, I predict you will win,” he concluded confidently.
