Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has travelled to the United States to attend the wedding of his nephew and global music star, David Adeleke (Davido), amid clarification from his office regarding the purpose and duration of the trip.

Davido had earlier confirmed that his white wedding with wife Chioma Avril Rowland would take place in Miami, Florida in August 2025, during an interview on The Breakfast Club aired on April 8, 2025.

Addressing public curiosity and political criticism, the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, released a statement on Tuesday confirming the governor’s location and schedule.

“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. 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,” Rasheed stated.

In response to concerns raised by the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), Rasheed highlighted the governor’s consistent presence in office since assuming leadership in November 2022, noting that Adeleke has not taken official leave until now. “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,” he added.
