Murray-Bruce cited Davido’s family background in politics and his global fame as factors that could contribute to a successful political career. He believes Davido has the necessary “political DNA” to excel in politics.
He said, “David Adeleke, the global phenomenon better known as Davido, is undeniably an international artist and a true Nigerian superstar. He stands as one of Nigeria’s most valuable cultural exports. However, beneath the surface of this music icon lies a side that many may not be aware of.”
Murray-Bruce highlighted that Davido’s Adeleke family legacy plays a significant role in his political prospects. His uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is the current Governor of Osun State, while his late uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, served as the state’s governor during Ibrahim Babangida’s military regime.
Given this pedigree, Murray-Bruce believes that Davido, with his political inclinations and strong public appeal, could eventually follow in his family’s footsteps.
“Considering all of these, the thought that Davido himself could one day aspire to become the Governor of Osun State seems more like a potential trajectory, especially if his political inclinations are nurtured and strategically channelled,” he said.
Murray-Bruce also shared a broader perspective on the growing trend of entertainers venturing into politics in Nigeria, suggesting that Davido’s ability to connect with diverse demographics could bring a fresh perspective to the political landscape.
“Here in Nigeria, there is a growing sentiment that more entertainers should consider seeking political positions. Their ability to connect with the different demographics could inject fresh perspectives and dynamism into the political landscape.”
In his closing remarks, Murray-Bruce confidently predicted, “Davido, if you run, I predict you will win.”
