The Osun State political landscape has witnessed a significant shift as international Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, announced his formal entry into partisan politics. In a strategic move to bolster the political aspirations of his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, the singer confirmed his decision to join the Accord Party.
This development follows the Governor’s recent departure from the Peoples Democratic Party and his subsequent emergence as the Accord Party’s standard-bearer for the 2026 gubernatorial election.
Davido disclosed his political intentions through his verified social media channels, stating that he would be visiting the Osun State capital, Osogbo, to officially collect his party membership card.
The singer’s announcement was met with considerable public interest, as he signaled his readiness to mobilize support for his uncle’s re-election bid under the new platform.
His involvement is expected to energize the youth demographic and bring a high level of celebrity visibility to the Accord Party’s campaign ahead of the upcoming electoral cycle.
