Video: “Familly is everything”, – Davido says on why he stuck his neck for his uncle in Osun

Nigerian singer, Davido pulled together all his resources to campaign for his uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, in Osun state.

The politician is now the governor-elect of Osun state after defeating the current governor, Oyetola.

In an interview with BBC News Pidgin, the singer was asked why he stuck his neck out that much for his uncle, and in plain words, he revealed that his family is everything to him. 

Davido, elated over the dancing senator’s victory, also added that they are the best people for the job and will see changes in one or two years. 

Meanwhile, Some Nigerians on Twitter have showered praises on Afrobeat singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido for his support before and during the Osun election in which his uncle, Ademola Adeleke won.

Adeleke polled PDP 403,371 to defeat Oyetola and the APC with 375,027 votes, while Lasun Yusuf of Labour Party, LP polled 2,729.

A tweep identified as @chrisoverD1st wrote, “This man right here is a clear definition of family over everything. How he’s turned up and stood by his uncle during this election is what we live for. You don’t need to be his fan to appreciate his love for family. This is #davido appreciation tweet #OsunDecides2022.

Another tweep wrote, “

@drpenking#Davido will forever STAND STRONG as a bold example that no matter how rich, famous or busy you are in this life, you can still create time for family. You should never forsake family. Family over everything. Blood is thicker. #OsunDecides2022.”

@ideal__tee tweeted, “This is a Davido appreciation tweet. Davido is a clear example of family over everything. He is a selfless & loving King! He helps both family and strangers. He is an entertainer both on and off music scene! Talk & Do! All hail the 001 #Davido #OsunDecides202
