In a surprise political and celebrity crossover, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hosted the Adeleke family on Tuesday evening at his private residence in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The meeting brought together Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke; his elder brother and business mogul, Chief Adedeji Adeleke; and global music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
The development was confirmed by the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, who shared images and news of the meeting via his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, @DOlusegun.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu receives in audience, H.E. Ademola Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun State, and Chief Adedeji Adeleke at his residence in Lagos,” Olusegun wrote.
While the content of the private meeting was not officially disclosed, political observers view the visit as a strategic gesture of unity and bipartisan engagement. Notably, Governor Adeleke is a leading figure in the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP), and the meeting may reflect ongoing national efforts by President Tinubu to foster collaboration across party lines.
Sources familiar with the atmosphere of the visit described it as cordial, with mutual respect shown by all parties. The presence of Chief Deji Adeleke, a respected businessman and philanthropist, further added significance to the gathering. Meanwhile, Davido’s inclusion drew wide social media reactions, as fans and political commentators speculated on the symbolism behind the viral moment.
