Davido's father, Deji Adeleke, has said his brother, Governor Ademola Adeleke, defeated the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just-concluded Osun State governorship election through prayer.

According to him, he was scared when he heard that the APC team had allegedly spent N60 billion in its bid to win the election.

He said he had to pray to God to make the money go to waste so that his brother could win the election.

Speaking during a testimony, he said:

“Let Oyetola hear. Let him know the reason why we defeated him. The only reason why we defeated Oyetola is not that we are bigger or that we spent more money than him. On election day, we didn't spend any money. They spent N60 billion, as we heard. In some places, they bought most votes for as high as N50,000 for a single vote.

“On the day of the election, when I heard the kind of money they were spending, I went back to my little corner in my room, and I knelt down, and I prayed to God. I said, God Almighty, let people collect their money, but let them still vote for Ademola Adeleke.

“And I just want everyone to do my routine. When I need God to pray every day, I have some Bible passages and verses that I read and that I pray with. And this is part of my testimony.

“The fourth Bible passage that I read every day when I go on my knees to pray is found in Isaiah chapter 41, starting from verse 10. And when I finish reading this, you know that I'm not the reason why I'm not afraid of anything. You know the reason why I am not bothered about anything.

“Because I believe my belief in God Almighty is very strong. And that's why you don't see me running after people in high places or competing with people to go and visit anyone. I would rather do it in my little corner. I would rather ask God Almighty to help me.”

Davido's billionaire father also opened up about the specific Bible passages he prays with daily, including Isaiah 41:10, during his brother's Osun re-election campaign.
