Deeone Claims He Advised Davido, Adeleke on Political Campaign Strategy
By Emmanuel Daniji
Comedian and social commentator Deeone has claimed that he recently offered political campaign advice to Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
According to the comedian, his counsel focused on how the pair should approach political campaigning, and he claimed that both Davido and the governor took his recommendations seriously.
Deeone made the claim while discussing his views on Nigeria’s political landscape, presenting himself as someone whose observations and advice could influence how political actors approach their campaigns.
‘They Took My Advice Seriously’
The comedian suggested that Davido and Governor Adeleke were receptive to the advice he offered and are now pleased with the outcome.
While Deeone did not publicly provide detailed evidence of the alleged consultation or spell out all the strategies he claimed to have shared with them, his comments have attracted attention because of Davido’s growing involvement in political conversations and Governor Adeleke’s position as a serving state governor.
The claim has consequently raised questions among social media users about the extent of Deeone’s alleged relationship with the Adeleke political camp and whether his involvement goes beyond casual conversations.
Deeone Makes Presidential Prediction
Deeone also used the opportunity to make a prediction concerning Nigeria’s forthcoming presidential election.
The comedian, who is known for making outspoken comments on political, social and entertainment issues, expressed confidence in his reading of the country’s political atmosphere.
He suggested that the strategies he claimed to have discussed with Davido and Governor Adeleke could become relevant to their broader political ambitions.
However, his prediction remains his personal assessment and should not be interpreted as an official position from Davido, Governor Adeleke or their political associates.
Social Media Reacts
Deeone’s comments have since generated discussions across social media, with users debating both the comedian’s alleged influence and the credibility of his political forecast.
Some reactions have focused on whether Davido and Governor Adeleke actually sought his counsel, while others have turned their attention to the substance of the political strategy he claims to have recommended.
His presidential prediction has also become a subject of debate, particularly as political conversations surrounding Nigeria’s next presidential contest continue to intensify.
From Comedy to Political Commentary
Deeone has increasingly used his public platform to comment on issues extending beyond comedy, particularly politics, governance and Nigerian society.
His latest comments demonstrate how entertainment personalities are increasingly becoming part of Nigeria’s political conversation, where celebrity influence, social media reach and political messaging often intersect.
For now, however, the central claims—that he advised Davido and Governor Adeleke and that they are pleased with the results—remain claims made by Deeone himself.
Neither Davido nor Governor Adeleke has publicly confirmed the alleged consultation or endorsed Deeone’s presidential prediction.
Until such confirmation emerges, the comedian’s comments remain an interesting—and potentially consequential—piece of political commentary rather than an established account of the Adeleke camp’s strategy.
