Amid political uncertainties in his state, Governor Ademola Adeleke has visited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
It could be recalled that the Nigerian Government recently halted resource allocation to all the local government areas in Osun State.
This came amid stalemate over the running of the council areas, with both the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, laying claims to the council areas.
But following the legal advice of the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr Lateef Fagbemi, which is in favour of the sacked local government chairman under the APC platform, allocation to the LGs has been suspended.
It was gathered that Ademola’s visit to Tinubu’s Lagos residence is not unconnected with the confusion in the state.
It is also rumoured that ahead of the guber election in the state in 2026, Governor Adeleke could be on his way to the APC.
Accompanying the governor was his elder brother and renowned businessman, Chief Adedeji Adeleke, along with his son, internationally acclaimed Afrobeats artiste David Adeleke, widely known by his stage name, Davido.
The visit was announced in a post by President Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, who shared details on X on Tuesday.
"President Bola Ahmed Tinubu receives in audience H.E. Ademola Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun State, along with Chief Adedeji Adeleke and his son, Afrobeats icon Davido, at his Lagos residence," Olusegun wrote.
As of the time of filing this report, the reason for the courtesy call had not been made public, and no official statement has been issued either by the Presidency or the Adeleke family.
Images from the visit have surfaced on social media, capturing moments from the closed-door meeting between the President and the Adeleke family members.
Meanwhile, Governor Adeleke also confirmed the visit in a post on his X handle.
He wrote, "This evening, alongside the scion of the Adeleke dynasty, my big brother, Dr. Deji Adeleke and my nephew, whom we are immensely proud of, David Adeleke, popularly known as @davido we paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at his Lagos residence ahead of the Sallah celebration."
