Moment Davido Links Uncle Gov Adeleke to VP Shettima Sparks Political Talks: “Baba Wan Port To APC”

• A video from the visit shows Afrobeats star Davido smiling as he handed his uncle's call to the VP
• Netizens suggest the singer could be setting the stage for his uncle’s re-election bid in Osun State
• While some hail Davido’s influence, others call it a billionaire-level political lobby between political gladiators

Superstar singer David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has once again stirred conversation on social media, not just with his music, but with a video of his recent visit to Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Afrobeats hitmaker had led a delegation to the Presidential Villa in Abuja. But it was a moment at the Vice President’s residence that sparked the most buzz online.

In a now-viral clip from the visit, Davido, seen all smiles and relaxed, was chatting with VP Shettima about his new album.

The conversation appeared to be going smoothly when his phone rang—it was his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Without hesitation, Davido handed the phone to Shettima, and the two prominent political figures exchanged pleasantries. The video has since gone viral, generating discussions across social media platforms.

While many Nigerians hailed the singer’s ability to blend entertainment with diplomacy, others speculated on a deeper political meaning, suggesting Davido could be paving the way for his uncle's re-election bid in 2026.

Some fans even hinted that Governor Adeleke might be considering a political switch, especially given the cordial nature of his exchange with the APC-led government.

Davido is yet to respond to the speculation, but one thing is clear: the singer knows how to stay relevant both in entertainment and high-level political circles.
