Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has blasted the All Progressives Congress (APC) for what he described as attempts to frustrate development in Osun State.
Davido said this on Monday in reaction to the massive turnout at the inauguration of the Lagere Flyover in Ile-Ife by his uncle, the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke.
The singer, who has been a vocal supporter of the governor and his administration, posted videos from the inauguration on his X account, along with comments praising the project and the crowd that attended the event.
Davido, reacting to a video showing the crowd that gathered for the event, wrote, “Jesus, see Ile-Ife crowd!! For @AAdeleke_01!!!! That’s a deal! “You can’t stop God’s project!”
In another post, the singer criticized the APC, asking why the party would allegedly oppose projects in the state.
“APC is just backwards,” he wrote. Why would they do anything to stop progress?” Thot y’all were progressives??

He also appeared to poke fun at the influencers and supporters at the event, writing, “Belt to ass this weekend!!!! Nah. Pay 100,000 influencers if you want. Dem come for free hotel and food.”
The posts followed the inauguration of the Lagere Flyover and the dualization of the Mayfair Roundabout–Palace Junction Road in Ile-Ife by Adeleke.
One of the major infrastructure projects of the Adeleke administration in the ancient city is the Lagere Flyover, located at the busy Lagere Junction.
Adeleke flagged off the project in May 2024 to ease traffic congestion around the Lagere area, a major commercial and transport hub linking several parts of Ile-Ife.
The project, which involves the flyover and associated road expansion and dualization works, has been quoted to cost about N14.9bn.
The road corridor connects the Lagere area toward Iremo Road and the axis leading to the Ooni of Ife’s Palace. The wider project is expected to ease traffic flow and connectivity within the city.
A large crowd of residents, supporters and other stakeholders graced the inauguration, with clips of the event widely shared on social media.
Davido’s comments come just days before the Osun State governorship election on August 15, in which Adeleke is seeking re-election.
