Davido formally joined the Accord Party in December 2025, shortly after his uncle, Governor Adeleke, defected from the PDP to seek re-election on the new platform. The singer had earlier served as Chairman of the Osun State Sports Trust Fund.
Known for his massive youth following across Nigeria and the diaspora, Davido’s appointment is seen as a strategic move to energise the youth base and leverage his influence, celebrity status, and philanthropic work in Osun State.
Reacting to the news, many netizens congratulated the 30BG boss, describing it as a natural fit given his family ties and previous support for Adeleke’s political journey.
As the 2026 election season heats up, all eyes are on how Davido will deploy his star power in the campaign.
