Osun 2026: Your Plan Won’t Work, Davido Tackles Oyetola

Political tension ahead of the 2026 Osun State governorship election escalated on Tuesday after Nigerian music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, openly criticised the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, on social media platform X.

Davido accused the former Osun State governor of political desperation, reacting to what he described as an alleged political scheme linked to Oyetola.

In a post that quickly went viral, the singer wrote: “The most desperate politician in the world is @GboyegaOyetola, very embarrassing. Oyetola, your plan no go work.”

Although Davido did not provide specific details about the alleged plan, his statement immediately triggered widespread reactions online, with supporters and critics of both figures engaging in heated exchanges across social media platforms.

The post gained significant traction within minutes, reflecting the already charged political atmosphere in Osun State as parties and stakeholders position themselves ahead of the 2026 governorship contest.

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official response from Oyetola or his media team regarding the allegation or Davido’s comments.

Political observers note that Osun politics has often been characterised by intense rivalry and strong public engagement, with political debates frequently extending beyond traditional party structures into online spaces and celebrity commentary.

Supporters of Oyetola and the ruling political bloc were quick to respond to Davido’s post, with some dismissing his remarks as unnecessary interference in political affairs.

One X user, @rashid_Yakin, commented that the dispute was linked to past electoral outcomes, suggesting that political grievances were influencing current tensions.

Another user, @GiwaBaban, urged the singer to avoid what he described as “online ranting” and focus on supporting his preferred candidate peacefully.

The development adds another layer to the growing political drama in Osun State, where alliances, personal influence, and social media engagement are increasingly shaping public perception ahead of the 2026 election cycle.
