2027: It Won’t Be APC – Davido Distances Self From Uncle Adeleke’s Endorsement Of Tinubu
Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has ruled out backing the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 presidential election, despite his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, endorsing President Bola Tinubu.
In a viral video from his recent interview with News Central TV, the Grammy-nominated artiste stated his political stance just days after the Osun governorship election and the declaration of results.
According to him, although Governor Ademola Adeleke publicly declared support for President Tinubu after securing his re-election, he is not bound to follow his uncle’s political direction.

He recalled his past involvement in politics, including campaigning for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar when they were both in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Davido said, “I defeated 17 governors with all their power, with all their immunity, escort commanders, DSS, with all their billions. I defeated them with just a phone. For now, I feel like I did what I had to do for the Osun people and my family.”
He added, “You can’t force me to have a presidential candidate. My uncle might have his personal reasons for the gain of the state.”
Speaking further on his uncle’s support for Tinubu, the singer stated, “My uncle, immediately he won, came out to declare his support for President Tinubu. But as for me, I am not prepared to support anybody.”
He continued, “I personally haven’t seen anybody in the past. Yes, I have supported Atiku before when we were in PDP, and I even supported in 2015 when APC first did the merger. My late uncle was part of the APC, so I campaigned then.”
He concluded, “But right now, I don’t have a presidential candidate. It might change, sha. It’s not going to be APC, but everybody should have their own.”
