Loyalty to US after Osun gov talks
Just days earlier, former senator Ben Murray-Bruce had publicly endorsed Davido for a political future, suggesting that the singer could one day become the Governor of Osun State.
Bruce highlighted the Adeleke family’s strong political background and Davido’s influence on Nigeria’s youth as major reasons for the endorsement.
Davido, who was born in Atlanta, Georgia, is a dual citizen of Nigeria and the US. He has often spoken about his American background and regularly travels between the two countries.
