Olusegun Obasanjo attends Davido's wedding
The former president, who served the country on two consecutive occasions, was in Lagos on Tuesday to celebrate the union of Davido and Chioma.
After Nigeria's return of democracy in 1999, Obasanjo was elected as the fourth republic's first president and re-elected for a second term to complete eight years. He had earlier ruled the country as a military head of state.
Recently, there have been speculations that the former president may be switching to President Bola Tinubu's camp after he was seen with a cap bearing Tinubu's symbol and was also spotted with the first lady, Oluremi Tinubu.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu honours Davido
The Lagos state governor was also at the wedding to honour the musician and the Adeleke's family.
Coincidentally, on the same day, the governor celebrated his 59th birthday and expressed gratitude to the people of the state for the opportunity to serve.
The governor said:
"Being the Governor of Lagos State is an immense privilege, and I am grateful for the chance to make a positive impact in the lives of our citizens."
Dapo Abiodun spotted at Davido's wedding
Ogun state governor Prince Dapo Abiodun also attended the wedding of the celebrity couple in Lagos.
Abiodun recently emerged as the chairman of the southern governor's forum, a position that has been vacant since the demise of Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state.
Abiodun presence at the wedding comes days after Ogun state made headlines over this year's Ojude Oba festival, which recently trended in Nigeria.
Ademola Adeleke, Davido's uncle
Ademola Adeleke, Osun state governor, also graced the occasion and entertained people with his characteristic dance steps.
The governor, who is Davido's uncle, was earlier referred to by the singer as Nigeria's future president.
This raised the speculation that the governor might be nursing presidential ambition after leaving the office.
Udom Emmanuel present at Davido's wedding
Another influential politician at Davido's wedding was the immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom state, Udom Emmanuel.
The two-term governor of the oil-rich south-south state was the campaign director of the Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign council in the 2023 general election.
His presence added colour and glamour to Davido and Chioma's wedding.
Other politicians who attended Davido and Chioma's wedding include:
- Godwin Obaseki - The governor of Edo state
- Seyi Tinubu – Entrepreneur and influential son of President Bola Tinubu.
- Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin – Speaker of Oyo State House of Assembly.
- Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa – Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).
First lady position: Governor Adeleke's wives clash
Legit.ng earlier reported that the wives of governor Adeleke displayed some dramatic scenes in Osun state.
The two wives of the governor were reportedly claiming the first lady's seat as they prepared to welcome Nigeria's first lady, Oluremi Tinubu, to the state.
Different posters from the two wives surfaced online welcoming Tinubu's wife to the state.
