Davido has taken a swipe at former Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola after the politician shared a post welcoming top All Progressives Congress (APC) heavyweights to the state ahead of the governorship election.
Oyetola had put up a video online celebrating the arrival of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Governor Hope Uzodimma, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Governor Uba Sani and the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, among other party leaders, for a campaign mega rally in Osogbo.

In his post, Oyetola wrote:
"It is a pleasure to welcome the Senate President, His Excellency Godswill Akpabio; Governor Hope Uzodimma; Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa; Governor Uba Sani; other distinguished Governors, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; party leaders, stakeholders and other dignitaries to Osun State for the APC Governorship Campaign Mega Rally in Osogbo. As members and supporters of the APC family converge in Osogbo, we look forward to a peaceful, vibrant and successful campaign event."
Davido's sharp response to Oyetola
The music star was not having any of it. Responding directly to the post, Davido dismissed the show of political force entirely, writing: "If you like gather Jesus 12 disciples o ma LULE for the 3rd time !!!"

The comment was a pointed reference to the APC candidate losing the Osun governorship contest for a third time, suggesting that no amount of political firepower would change the outcome.
Davido's uncle, Ademola Adeleke, currently serves as the Governor of Osun State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which gives the singer's political commentary added weight in the state.

"You claim to worship Jesus, yet you're proudly telling people that even Jesus can't do anything? Wow. that's a dangerously confused sense of reasoning. Imagine contradicting the very person you claim to worship and still feeling proud of that your dancing uncle with nothing to show as project?"
