Davido Mocks Ex-Osun Speaker Owoeye Amid Rumors of Tinubu-Adeleke Political Alliance.
Afrobeats star Davido has taken a jab at the former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye, in the wake of escalating political drama surrounding the ongoing local government election crisis in Osun State.
Owoeye, who gained notoriety in 2018 after a viral video showed him allegedly performing ritual activities naked in the middle of the night, became the target of Davido’s online mockery following a political outburst on Wednesday.
The singer, whose uncle is the incumbent Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, responded to Owoeye’s remarks on X (formerly Twitter) by posting: “No be this guy naked for bush?”
Davido’s reaction comes shortly after Governor Adeleke met with President Bola Tinubu in Lagos on Tuesday. The meeting, which also included Adeleke’s elder brother, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, and Davido himself, fueled speculation about a possible alliance or defection arrangement between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Tensions have been high in Osun State since February 2025, when the federal government reportedly withheld local government allocations due to the unresolved election dispute between the APC and the ruling PDP. The political standoff has prompted accusations and counter-accusations from both parties.
Dismissing the alleged defection plans, Hon. Owoeye held a press conference in Osogbo on Wednesday, where he stated emphatically: “The Adeleke family is not welcome in the APC. There is no space for PDP and Adeleke in APC.”
As the political drama unfolds, Davido’s public mockery adds a pop culture twist to the high-stakes confrontation, drawing further public attention to a state already on edge amid its political uncertainties.
