Daivido and his father, Dr Deji Adeleke
LAGOS OCTOBER 16TH (NEWSRANGERS)-A business mogul, philanthropist and father of hip hop artist, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, Dr. Deji Adeleke, has distanced himself from reports that he is seeking the governorship ticket of the state.
Adeleke, who is from Ede in Osun State, made his position known in a statement on Monday.
A statement issued on Monday on behalf of Adeleke and signed by Dele Adeleke described the insinuation that Davido’s father wanted to contest the gubernatorial poll on the platform of the All Progressives Congress as false, unfounded and ludicrous.
According to the statement: “Our attention has been drawn to a rumour in a section of the media that Dr Deji Adeleke is being pressured to contest for the governorship seat in Osun State on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC).
“Dr Deji Adeleke is not interested in seeking any political office nor involved in any talks/plot to make him the governorship candidate of APC or any other political party. Dr Adeleke is not a politician and has chosen to continue to render his contributions and service to humanity in his private capacity and through his foundation.
“We hereby appeal to the good people of Osun State and all Nigerians to disregard the mischievous publication in its entirety.”
