Davido Mocks Ex-Osun Speaker Over APC Remark
Afrobeats singer Davido has publicly mocked the former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye, over a controversial statement made regarding the Adeleke family’s alleged ties to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adeleke’s Visit to Tinubu Fuels Political Speculation
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State paid a visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos on Tuesday, accompanied by his elder brother, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, and Davido. The meeting comes amid a political standoff in Osun, where local government allocations have reportedly been withheld since February 2025 due to a crisis between the APC and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The high-profile visit sparked rumors of a possible defection deal between the governor and President Tinubu, raising eyebrows across the state’s political spectrum.
Owoeye: “Adeleke Family Not Welcome in APC”
In a swift reaction on Wednesday, Hon. Timothy Owoeye dismissed any claims of a defection, stating in a press conference in Osogbo:
“Adeleke family is not welcome in the APC. There is no space for PDP and Adeleke in APC.”
His comment was seen by many as a direct jab at the governor’s family and political affiliations.
Davido Responds: “No Be This Guy Naked for Bush?”
Davido, who was part of the presidential visit, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to fire back at Owoeye’s remarks. In a post that quickly went viral, the singer wrote:
“No be this guy naked for bush?”
His comment referred to a 2018 viral incident where Owoeye was allegedly caught on camera performing ritual activities naked in the middle of the night, a scandal that stirred public uproar at the time.
Background: Owoeye’s Viral Ritual Scandal
In 2018, Timothy Owoeye was reportedly apprehended in a compromising situation during what appeared to be a nighttime ritual in the bush. The incident, captured on video, drew nationwide attention and remains a stain on the former Speaker’s political image.
