Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has departed Nigeria for the United States to witness the highly anticipated white wedding of his nephew, global music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and his wife, Chioma Rowland. The grand event is set to take place in Miami, Florida, this August 2025, months after the couple’s traditional ceremony captivated fans worldwide.
The governor’s trip, which became a talking point among opposition figures in the state, was officially confirmed in a statement by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, who clarified that the journey is a family commitment and not an official leave of absence. He emphasized that the governor has remained dedicated to duty since assuming office in November 2022, with no prior vacation taken until this brief travel.
Adeleke, who departed on the family’s private jet, reportedly remains in close contact with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, who is supervising governmental affairs during his absence. Rasheed assured the public that the governor’s administrative presence continues through virtual coordination with his team in Osogbo.
In an unexpected turn, Governor Adeleke extended an open invitation to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the family celebration in Miami or tune in virtually to share in the joyous occasion. This move is being interpreted as a subtle jab and a show of confidence in the unity of the Adeleke dynasty.
Davido had announced the wedding date during an appearance on The Breakfast Club on April 8, 2025, sparking massive excitement across social media. The white wedding is expected to draw high-profile personalities from across the globe, including entertainers, politicians, business moguls, and cultural icons.
Sources close to the Adeleke family revealed that elaborate security and luxury arrangements have been made for the ceremony, which will reportedly include a private yacht dinner, Afrobeat-themed beach party, and a traditional Yoruba blessing ceremony tailored for the U.S. audience.
The union between Davido and Chioma has long captured public imagination, and with the state’s governor present to bless the event, the celebration not only symbolizes family unity but also reinforces the Adeleke brand as one of Nigeria’s most influential dynasties in entertainment and politics.
