Afrobeat singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has challenged the All Progressives Congress over what he described as attempts to stop the progress of Osun State, declaring that “you can’t stop God’s project.”

Davido spoke on Monday after a large crowd turned out for the inauguration of the Lagere Flyover in Ile-Ife by his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Reacting to the turnout, the music star took a swipe at the APC and portrayed the crowd’s presence at the project as evidence of growing support for the direction of his uncle’s administration.

The singer’s comment came against the backdrop of increasing political activity in Osun ahead of the 2026 governorship election. The contest is expected to attract intense competition between the ruling administration and opposition forces seeking control of the state.

Davido’s reference to a “God’s project” appeared in his reaction to the development in Ile-Ife, where the flyover was formally inaugurated before a large gathering. He suggested that efforts to halt the progress associated with the project would ultimately prove unsuccessful.

The intervention gives the Osun political conversation another prominent voice, with Davido using his public platform to openly back the progress being associated with the administration of Governor Adeleke.

The singer’s connection to the governor is also notable, as Ademola Adeleke is his uncle. Davido has previously attracted public attention for his involvement in political conversations surrounding his family and Osun State.

Although the report did not specify the particular actions by the APC that prompted Davido’s accusation, his remarks were directed at the opposition party as political mobilisation continues ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
