Officials invite the music star for future shows and dismiss the viral travel ban as pure politics
On August 21, 2026, the Edo State Government officially denied placing a travel ban on David Adeleke. Officials dismissed the aide who announced the restriction as a fraud. The state confirmed the singer remains welcome despite recent political tension during the Osun election.
On August 21, 2026, the Edo State Government stopped rumours about a travel ban on David Adeleke. State leaders moved fast to protect the star.
”edostategovt STOP PRESS.” The urgent alert began with these exact words.
A viral clip recently showed a local worker blocking the star from the state. The fight started during the recent Osun governorship race. Leaders have now fully rejected that strict order.
Government exposes fake ban order
Prince Kassim Afegbua signed the public letter. He made it clear that the state loves the star.
”LIKE ALL OTHER NIGERIANS WE LOVE AND WELCOME DAVIDO IN EDO STATE.” The document stated this clearly.
”Our enemies are at it again; we did not ban Davido from entering Edo state.” Afegbua declared this fact. He wanted to clear the air fast.
An angry worker had tried to lock the star out of the state. The worker acted after the star mocked Governor Monday Okpebholo online. Leaders quickly stepped away from that bad move.
”The proclaimer of that ban is an enemy of Edo State; an impostor, and a fraud.” The commissioner wrote this line.
”The Government of Edo State hereby dissociates itself from such spiteful behavior, and wishes to state further that Edo state is home to all, regardless of their belief, political persuasion, affinity and or legal affiliation .” He added this vital point. This clears the leader’s name.
The state runs an open door rule for everyone. Leaders want to work with the star soon.
”As a matter of fact, should Davido intend to perform in Edo state in future, the state will be willing to collaborate and partner with him.” The official noted this open offer. The state loves big shows.
Osun election drama resolved
The fight began when the star posted the leader’s school grades online. This took place right before the Osun state polls.
”Governor Okpebholo is very well balanced at home with various demographics and their leanings.” Afegbua explained the leader’s stance.
The team reminded fans about the star’s deep family roots. His late mother came from the state. The governor sees him as a true local son.
”Davido is one of our illustrious sons, whose mother hails from Edo state; he’s exemplary, and we are pleased to associate with him.” The statement read just like that.
”Should he wish to visit Edo state, we would happily host and fete him.” The leader promised this grand welcome. He holds no bad blood.
The tough campaign trails often create fake foes. Leaders hold no hate for the young star.
”Whatever transpired in Osun state in the wake of last week’s election was purely politics and nothing more.” Afegbua said this firmly. The team knows the game well. They refuse to take online jokes to heart.
”There was nothing personal in the conversations that deepened the campaigns.” He confirmed this detail.
Praise for a global ambassador
Leaders chose to praise the star instead of fighting him. They respect his huge push on the world music stage.
”Davido is a young man who has remained one of Nigeria’s global ambassadors, doing us proud and building bridges of understanding across the socio-political divides.” The commissioner declared this proudly. The star gets top respect. His songs unite the whole country.
The state stands fully behind his big career.
”As a government, we are pleased with his conduct, commitment and calculated conquest in the music industry.” He noted this massive growth. The leader likes his smart business moves.
”Indeed, we look forward to him being awarded a Grammy title.” The official release closed with the name “Prince Kassim Afegbua, Mnipr. Hon. Commissioner for Information and Strategy. Edo State.”
