Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke on Wednesday prostrated to pay homage to his elder brother, Adedeji Adeleke, over his role in his re-election.
Adeleke visited his brother, the father of Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, after he received his certificate of return from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Osogbo, the state’s capital.
The video, which has gone viral, showed the governor prostrating to pay homage to his older sibling.
The elder brother was also seen warmly receiving the governor and offering prayers for him.
Davido’s father had in a video on Monday said the re-elected governor’s victory was the result of answered prayers, not money.
“On the day of the election, when I heard the kind of money they were spending, I went back to my little corner in my room, and I knelt, and I prayed to God. I said, ‘God Almighty, please let people collect their money, but let them still vote for Ademola Adeleke,” the Osun governor’s brother had said.
Adeleke won the election after polling 511,067 votes against his opponent, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who polled 444,815 votes.
