Nigerian music star Davido has confirmed his appointment with the Osun State government ahead of the election.
Hours ago, it was reported that the singer was appointed Youth Mobilisation for the campaign council backing his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, in his re-election as Osun State Governor.
Confirming the appointment via his Twitter page, he expressed excitement at helping his uncle run a smooth campaign.
“I have been appointed by the Governor of OSUN STATE @AAdeleke_01 and flag bearer of the ACCOD PARTY 01 as HEAD YOUTH MOBILIZATION OF CAMPAIGN COUNCIL! We look forward to a smooth campaign, and you re-elect your EXCELLENCY! 4+4”.
Kemi Filani reported last year that the Osun State Government had announced the appointment of Davido as the Chairman of the newly established Osun Sports Trust Fund.
Nigerian business magnate and politician Senator Ben Murray-Bruce stirred the internet with his prediction for Davido. He predicted that the Singer could someday become the Governor of Osun State. He noted how the singer’s political potential isn’t only tied to his fame and his family’s significant political background, but also has the political DNA necessary for a successful political career.
Over the years, Davido has become actively involved in the politics of Nigeria, especially in Osun State.
During the Governorship campaign in Osun State, Davido actively campaigned for his uncle, and when he won, Davido celebrated openly online.
In 2024, he celebrated his uncle on his latest finished project in Osun State. The project in question was a building project in Osun.
Also, in 2024, Davido revealed why he was interested in the Edo State gubernatorial election, as he questioned the police directive for Edo citizens. He declared INEC the most dangerous institution in Nigeria as he admonished Edo indigenes not to bow to them. He noted how he had to fight and rant for the Osun Election to be a success in 2022 and was waiting for Osun 2026.
