Nigerian music icon David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, recently paid a courtesy visit to Nigeria’s Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, at the National Assembly complex in Abuja. He was accompanied by popular nightlife mogul and socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, famously known as Cubana Chiefpriest.
The visit was made public through a video posted on Instagram by Cubana Chiefpriest. The clip quickly drew attention across social media, sparking conversations about the growing intersection between politics and entertainment in Nigeria.
In the video, Senate President Akpabio is seen warmly welcoming Davido and his team. Holding a document in hand, he addressed the group, who listened with visible interest. The meeting appeared cordial and informal, ending with a round of photographs that captured Akpabio posing alongside Davido and Cubana Chiefpriest.
The post was accompanied by a reflective caption from Cubana Chiefpriest, encouraging followers to surround themselves with individuals who embody the kind of future they aspire to.
“Try as much as possible to get close to people who look exactly like your future. Abuja nights with Naija 003. Person wey get OBO too get power,” he wrote.
The visit, while not officially disclosed as political, has generated mixed reactions online. Some see it as a symbolic blending of celebrity influence with political power, while others speculate that it could be a strategic alignment in anticipation of future political developments.
