Governor Adeleke Appointed Davido As Chairman Osun Sports Trust Fund by press9jatv(op): 10:15pm On Oct 22, 2025
The Osun State Government has announced the appointment of Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, as chairman of the Osun Sports Trust Fund.

The government said the move was aimed at raising funds to transform the state sports sector.

It also reaffirmed its commitment to completing the ongoing renovation and rehabilitation of the Osogbo Township Stadium, assuring that the upgraded facility will meet Olympic standards upon completion.

As reported by the Guardian Nigeria, confirming the appointment, the state deputy governor, Kola Adewusi, who doubles as the Commissioner for Sports, said the state government under Governor Ademola Adeleke is determined to transform the stadium into a world-class sports arena that will not only host national events but also attract international competitions.

He said, “Ongoing renovation and rehabilitation of the Osogbo Township Stadium to meet Olympic standards — a project that will be completed in the shortest possible time.

“I am pleased to inform you that plans are in advanced stages towards the establishment of the Osun State Sports Commission, which will serve as a central body for sports administration, development, and policy implementation. Introduction of a Sports Trust Fund to attract support from sports philanthropists within and outside the state, ensuring sustainable sports financing and development.


“Davido has been appointed to chair the Sports Trust Fund, and he did not hesitate in accepting the appointment. His intervention would attract funds that would impact Osun sports positively.”

So davido has the much needed contacts? 🤔

MODIFIED

Oya, all you RoNu quoting me to make snide remarks answer me this . . .

1. Have you ever seen davido play any sports? Either on social media (for the camera) or in his private time? 🧐

2. How many SPORTING BRANDS have ever endorsed or partnered with him in the past?

3. Is it because he once sang in the opening ceremony of an Olympic (or is it world cup) that you believe he knows anything about sports or sportsmanship angry

4. Don't tell me you are blatantly overlooking the obvious nepotism in his appointment just because he's your superstar musician undecided

Nigerians . . . You all like to fix square pegs in round holes just because of 'man - know - man'. I just hope the governor knows what he's doing for the sake of the sporting populace on his state. 😏

Some other states have made musicians commissioners and such in the past (2face, etc) wetin dem gain? what was the impact of that musician occupying that public office? Can you name one advantage 2face helped Benue state advance when he was their commissioner for entertainment abi arts 🤔

You all think they wiser than those who have the experience already abi? Because they managed to enter studio and sing songs undecided

Anyway, I wish the state well 🤗

Davido’s appointment isn’t bad, since the motive is to use his influence to generate fund for the growth of sport in the state.

Re: Governor Adeleke Appointed Davido As Chairman Osun Sports Trust Fund by sreamsense: 1:11am On Oct 23, 2025
It is now when your time is getting over that you want to establish one sport commission. Adelekes should have used wisdom especially putting Davido in anything fund is risky.

When probe starts now, opposition will write petition to EFCC for investigation, the money they will tell EFCC that is missing might be more than your gain or Davido gain. Law doesn't know, don't you know we are rich before. EFCC may collect your money more than what they suspect you stole because EFCC will get court order to pause your bank account until investigation is concluded.

Opposition will see it a way to siphon money under pretence of you know I am rich. Some are rich, but not rich in wisdom. Nobody should disturb me with come and March or protest for me. If you don't get wisdom to play politics well, go for another work that is yours. If Davido can not be transparent like clean water about the fund or keep correct figure of everything, external private auditor arranged by EFCC can expose him.

And Davido should not mix sport money with his money or keep it in same account or better to declare his asset now to determine how much he has in his account now before he resumes, this EFCC man no dey look face oh. Yaya Bello is facing his own now. EFCC knows how to trace money.

Davido and Adelekes family should buy wisdom now and sell it not EFCC don't want to hear I am richer than the state, they will expose everything to the world and may tarnish Adelekes image or lead to confiscation of some properties. Be wise and be warned now

Opposition will not see it in that way, it may tarnish his name later. Opposition will see it as a way to siphon money towards the end of his tenure. If Davido is not careful, he may pay later more than he benefit because EFCC don't want to hear I am richer than the state. Opposition may carefully watch along and petition EFCC. Better for Davido to declare his asset now

If you read the mandate of the trust fund, you will realise that Davido is the right man for the job. He will use his influence to raise funds for it.

How much does Osun State government want to pay a Davido that steadily earns in USD? Perhaps 1m or 5m per month? All I see here is a win for Osun; Osun cannot pay Davido. The state can only take care of his logistics.

Three family members representing the state local government in Osun State...appointed...by the government... is this fair to all other Osun indigenes who are not adequately represented at the Osun executive level ? This is purely maladministration.and favoritism..

Honestly I pity Osun state people. Tinubu had no family members in his cabinet yet the opposition especially Baba Bode George was crying foul. He was alleging Tinubu has pocketed Lagos state. Now what would you call this one now. I pity my state

This should not surprise Sane NIGERIANS because it's Pay- Back,as Davido- was part of his Champaign then!
But here is the funny thing - Davido and his Family Are based in Atlanta, USA -as an American Citizen, just like Sowore too - are based abroad!
So,how does this Davido roles - Benefits OSUN STATE People?
Make Una no worry - Campaigns for 2027 start Next year,2026.😅😂
Re: Governor Adeleke Appointed Davido As Chairman Osun Sports Trust Fund by Teymanhenry(f): 5:46am On Oct 23, 2025
Having him as chairman entertainment trust fund or Social trust fund will be better... Is Davido well into sports and have connections with sport people? Only his performance will tell
Re: Governor Adeleke Appointed Davido As Chairman Osun Sports Trust Fund by press9jatv(op): 5:48am On Oct 23, 2025
Adeleke has destroyed himself totally with this move. He wants to used Adeleke David, Davido to campaign for next year governorship election. He has failed woefully on that. Osun State electorates will never disappoint here. You turned your government to family government and you think you will succeed. No way, Adeleke has failed woefully beyond redemption.

Na we be the spectators .I no get mind to go into politics and I no get family wey hold key shots for politics . Na to sit down dey look .
Truth be told , deep down our hearts , reason why we are all critical of the move no be because we love Osun people or the love we have for Nigeria.
We sef go do worse, na opportunity we no get .
