Governor Adeleke of Osun State has released a statement following Davido’s visit to the state amid his appointment.
Kemi Filani reported last month 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, Davido expressed excitement at helping his uncle run a smooth campaign.
As part of his appointment, Davido had visited Osun State, where he was royally received.
During a press conference, Governor Adeleke officially welcomed him to his home and into their campaign. He noted how Davido brings energy, influence, and passion, and is what they need to mobilise and inspire their vibrant youth population.
“Today, I warmly welcome my nephew and global music icon, David Adeleke (@davido), back home and into our campaign.
A renowned mobilizer and supporter of our campaign in the past and now the Chairman of the Imole Youth Campaign Council Committee for the 2026 Imole Campaign Council, David brings the energy, influence, and passion needed to mobilise and inspire our vibrant youth population.
Over the past three years, our administration has implemented policies and programmes that support youth growth and development across all sectors in Osun State.
I assure every citizen of Osun State of our unwavering commitment to your welfare and prosperity. We will continue to put you first and protect your interests at all times.
Together, let us sustain the Imole continuity agenda for the benefit of all”.
Last year, 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.
