President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday evening welcomed Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, to his private residence in Ikoyi, Lagos — a meeting widely seen as a notable gesture of bipartisan cooperation.
Governor Adeleke, a prominent member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was joined by his elder brother, businessman and philanthropist Adedeji Adeleke, and his nephew, international music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
The visit was confirmed by the President’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, via a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account:
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu receives in audience, H.E. Ademola Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun State, and Chief Adedeji Adeleke at his residence in Lagos.”
Photos from the meeting quickly circulated online, with Davido’s presence drawing significant public interest.
While details of the discussions were not disclosed, sources cited by our source described the engagement as warm and constructive. It is viewed as part of President Tinubu’s ongoing efforts to promote national unity and cross-party dialogue.
The meeting comes amid a series of outreach efforts by President Tinubu to leaders across party lines, signaling a broader push for inclusive governance. Governor Adeleke has recently commended the President’s leadership, especially his focus on nation-building beyond partisan boundaries.
Political observers see the encounter as a positive indication of improving ties between the presidency and opposition governors.
