Osun 2026: Davido Joins Governor Adeleke in Accord Party, Set to Pick Membership Card in Osogbo

N Nigerian music superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has announced his decision to officially join the Accord Party ahead of the 2026 Osun State governorship election.

The award-winning artiste disclosed that he would pick up his Accord Party membership card in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Wednesday, December 27. Davido made the announcement via his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, where he tagged the Accord Party and Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, his uncle.

The announcement immediately generated widespread reactions across social media platforms, with fans and political observers weighing in on the development.

Governor Adeleke recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party and has since emerged as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2026 election. The defection has reportedly led to a surge in new memberships, with supporters across the state and beyond aligning with the party.

Davido’s move has been welcomed by many of his fans, who described it as a strong show of family solidarity and political loyalty. Some social media users jokingly referred to the development as “family business,” while others speculated that the global music star’s political involvement could signal future ambitions beyond entertainment.

Although Davido has not indicated any intention to contest for political office, his entry into partisan politics is seen as a significant boost for the Accord Party, especially among young voters and supporters of the governor.

As Osun State gradually moves towards the 2026 polls, the growing intersection of entertainment influence and political participation continues to shape public discourse.
