This clarification follows criticisms from the All Progressives Congress (APC), which expressed concern over the governor’s two-week absence from the state.
The APC, through its Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, had alleged that Adeleke “disappeared” after a failed defection bid to the party, describing his unexplained absence as troubling and unacceptable. The party maintained that the people of Osun State deserve to know the whereabouts of their elected chief executive.
In response, Governor Adeleke’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement confirming that the governor travelled to the U.S. aboard the family’s private jet to attend Davido’s wedding ceremony.
“Adeleke left Nigeria for the United States via the family private jet a few days ago for the wedding of the global music icon, his beloved nephew, David Adeleke,” the statement read.
In a light-hearted twist, the governor extended an open invitation to members of the opposition to join in the celebration.
“APC is invited to the wedding of David Adeleke (Davido) in the United States, which Governor Ademola Adeleke is attending for a few days. His Excellency is extending an invitation to the opposition party to attend the event and share in the joy of the occasion with the Adeleke family. Those unable to attend may join virtually,” Rasheed added.
