“Davido will Win If He Runs”: Ben Murray-Bruce Predicts Singer’s Political Future, Fans React

Ben Murray-Bruce believes Davido’s political roots and mass appeal could propel him into Osun State’s top seat

The former senator describes the singer as a “political animal” with a clear ideology and strong family legacy

He urges more entertainers to enter politics, saying their connection with the youth can reshape Nigeria’s leadership

Former Bayelsa East senator and media mogul, Ben Murray-Bruce, has predicted that Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, could one day become the Governor of Osun State.

In a recent episode of his “Common Sense” series, Murray-Bruce highlighted the singer’s deep political lineage and growing ideological interest, suggesting that Davido’s influence could translate into electoral success if he chooses to run for office.

Murray-Bruce said:

“David Adeleke, the global phenomenon better known as Davido, is undeniably an international artist and a true Nigerian superstar. He stands as one of Nigeria’s most valuable cultural exports.

“However, beneath the surface of this music icon lies a side that many may not be aware of. He is, by his own admission, a political animal with deeply held views and a clear-cut political ideology,” he added.

In the video, he pointed to the Adeleke family’s political legacy as a foundation for Davido’s potential political journey.

He noted:

“His uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the Governor of Osun State. Furthermore, his uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, also served as a former Governor of Osun State during Ibrahim Babangida’s military administration.

The former senator emphasised that entertainers like Davido possess the unique ability to connect with a broad and youthful audience, which could bring fresh perspectives and dynamism into the political landscape.

He stated:

“Considering all of these, the thought that Davido himself could one day aspire to become the Governor of Osun State seems more like a potential trajectory, especially if his political inclinations are nurtured and strategically channelled."

What is the reason for a 70 year old man hyping a young man asking him to venture into politics?

@Tunmise4914175 commented:

So, David I understand Bruce is a very strong personality in the country which you might see his advice productive. But listen, if you ever go for politics in future, make sure you do your best right and leave the rest, don’t add Nigerian money to your god great money.. Peace
