Controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has condemned Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, for neglecting his official duties to attend his nephew, singer Davido’s wedding in Lagos today.

Biztellers reports that Governor Adeleke, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, were among the dignitaries present at Davido and Chioma’s lavish wedding on Tuesday.

In a video message shared on his Instagram account, Maduagwu specifically castigated Governor Adeleke for attending a wedding on a workday.

He stated, “On a Tuesday morning, Osun State Governor is leaving his State to attend a wedding in Lagos. We are not ready in this country. Honestly, we are not serious in this country.

“Can you see the MD of Access Bank or Zenith Bank leave their office on a Tuesday morning to attend a wedding? I’ve never done this in my life. On a Tuesday morning, the Chief Executive Officer of Osun, which is one of the poorest states in the South West, is leaving his office to attend a wedding. We are not ready in this country.

“This is a disgrace. A disrespect to the people of Osun State. If any permanent secretary in your state leaves his office to attend a wedding on a workday, would you be happy? And as a leader, you cannot even lead by example. You are attending a wedding in Lagos on a Tuesday afternoon. Will you ever see the Governor of New York or the Governor of Texas on a Tuesday morning going to attend a wedding?”

Maduagwu’s remarks have sparked a debate about the appropriateness of public officials attending personal events during working hours, highlighting concerns over governance and accountability in the country.

In a heartfelt ceremony today, Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, assured the parents of his bride, Chioma Rowland, that she will be respected and protected throughout their marriage.

The ‘Assurance’ hitmaker, who has often expressed his love for Chioma publicly, reaffirmed his commitment to her in front of family and friends.

Speaking at the wedding, Davido said, “I promised her a lifetime assurance. I promise you, your daughter will be protected, respected, and connected.”

He added warmly, “Mummy and daddy, I love you.”

The couple’s union has been a subject of widespread celebration, with many fans eagerly following their journey.

Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, has subtly criticised singer Wizkid while commending Davido’s wedding for dominating social media.

Basketmouth remarked on the difficulty of promoting his show at the moment, given the overwhelming attention on Davido and Chioma’s wedding.

He pointed out that even Wizkid’s recent social media drama failed to garner significant attention because of the wedding’s prominence.

On Instagram, Basketmouth posted: “Davido’s wedding has taken over the social media space. Except you want us to start using Chivido2024 to promote the show. Which I don’t think will work. Because, even Wizkid wey throw shade, nobody send am.”

Recall, Biztellers reported that Wizkid recently stirred excitement by tweeting “Lol [lots of laughs]” shortly after Davido released his pre-wedding photos with Chioma.

WwWizkid also tweeted about praying for every understanding woman, which some fans interpreted as a subtle jab at Chioma, who has been notably supportive of Davido despite infidelity allegations.

However, Wizkid has denied these speculations, asserting that his tweets were being misinterpreted.
