In his post, Adeleke described Omolola's success as a product of hard work, discipline and resilience, adding that he is "immensely proud of the young woman" she has become.
"Congratulations, my daughter. Your family celebrates you today, and we look forward to all that God has in store for you," Adeleke wrote.
The graduation photo that accompanied the post showed three people, Omolola in black academic regalia with a yellow hood, flanked by two individuals dressed in colourful doctoral and ceremonial robes.
Notably, Davido's father also appeared in the picture alongside his brother, the governor, and the graduating Omolola, making it a full family affair.
VDM's N50m Claim Adds Context to the Post
The timing of the governor's post drew added attention on social media, coming shortly after social media activist Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), alleged that he was offered ₦50 million to campaign for Governor Adeleke, and turned it down.
VDM had claimed in a trending video that Davido and members of his team extended the offer, saying:
"Davido and his crew offered me money; when they call me say make I come meet the uncle governor, say I go collect N50 million. Ask wetin I tell them. A lot of people will be happy; you no wetin be N50 million? I bounce am."
He also revealed that his last direct exchange with Davido concerned a Ghanaian fan the singer had promised $5,000, and that he reached out via DM to ensure the payment was made after people began questioning him about it.
