Davido sliding into politics, names Wike Godfather; Promises To Work For His Re-Election
26-year-old popular Nigerian musician, Mr David Adeleke, also called Davido, is gradually sliding into politics as he names Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike as his Godfather.

Davido also on Sunday promised to work for the re-election of Wike, the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

"I am also here to see my godfather, Gov. Wike and to support his second term bid.

"I am planning a talent hunt show in Port Harcourt, one of the lucky artistes will perform at my show in Lagos on Dec. 27," he said.

The musician, who made the pledge in Port Harcourt on Sunday when he visited the Rivers Governor, also said he would also institute a talent hunt show for Rivers-based artistes.

Davido got involved in politics in September when he rolled out the drums to campaign for his uncle Senator Ademola Adeleke who failed to clinch the governorship seat of Osun.

His grandfather, Raji Ayoola Adeleke, was a senator between 1979 and 1983 while another uncle, Isiaka Adeleke, was Osun's first civilian governor from January 1992 to November 1993. Isiaka Adeleke later became a senator.

The refusal of APC to give Isiaka's senatorial ticket to the Adeleke family caused the defection of Ademola Adeleke to PDP where he won the senatorial ticket.
