FROM UMBRELLA To BROOM: Davido Hints At Governor Adeleke’s Defection To APC In New Track
Popular Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, may have revealed that his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, is planning to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that news about the Osun governor’s possible defection started weeks ago after he and Davido visited President Bola Tinubu at his home in Lagos for a closed-door meeting.
Davido has now added fuel to the rumours through a new song titled “From Umbrella to Broom”, a phrase people have interpreted as a defection from PDP (symbolized by the umbrella) to APC (symbolized by the broom).
In the song, the artist hinted that the defection is meant to help the state progress.
He made references to poor electricity supply, youth frustration and the need for fresh leadership, saying that a new political direction may bring better results for Osun residents.
Davido in the song said, “New broom go sweep better. Ẹtan abẹla si ìjọba wa. From umbrella to the broom. Adegbe adafa, alagbada alefa.
“Eyan marun, mefa, kilode ta n suffer. New broom go sweep better. Them tori us propaganda from January to December we no gbadun NEPA. So all of our youths wan go America,” meaning (why are we suffering when the new broom can sweep better).
