Unbelievable! Davido Faces Backlash for Backing Cousin’s Government Appointment”

Popular Nigerian singer Davido has extended his congratulations to his cousin, Tunji Adeleke, following his appointment as the Chairman of the Local Government Commission in Osun State.

The appointment was made by their uncle and current governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke.

However, the announcement has triggered a mix of both applause and criticisms across social media platforms, thrusting Tunji Adeleke, the son of the late former governor of Osun State, Isiaka Adeleke, into the limelight.

The online community has shown a stark division of opinions concerning Tunji’s fitness for the new role. Some voices have praised the appointment, commending Tunji’s potential to positively impact the region. On the other hand, there has been a wave of skepticism and criticism, with individuals questioning Tunji’s qualifications and experience for the significant position. The appointment has also ignited debates about the influence of political families in Nigerian governance.

Amidst these varying viewpoints, Davido took to his Twitter account to express his unwavering support and pride in his cousin’s leadership abilities. He shared heartfelt messages, conveying his confidence in Tunji’s capacity to navigate the responsibilities that accompany his new role. Davido’s post, while meant to bolster Tunji’s image, further intensified the discussions and reactions from fans and the public at large.

One fan expressed concerns about the apparent nepotism, stating, “You guys can just go ahead to change Osun state to Adeleke state. Please David, with all due respect, can you share this guy’s profile with us and what experience he’s got to handle such an office. Everything just seems to be wrong with Nigeria. Left, right, back & front. Irrespective of political party.”

Another commenter sarcastically remarked, “It’s a family business now.”

As the controversy continues to unfold, the appointment and the ensuing discussions highlight broader issues surrounding governance, political dynasties, and transparency in Nigeria. The reactions from both Davido and the online community over his cousin, Tunji, underscore the complexity of public perception in the context of government appointments.
