Davido Enters Politics, Joins Accord Party in Support of Governor Adeleke

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has declared his decision to officially become a member of the Accord Party, aligning with his uncle and Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke.

The award-winning singer announced the move on Tuesday through his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, revealing plans to visit Osogbo on Wednesday to receive his party membership card.

“I will be live in Osun to pick up my @AccordPartyNG membership card @ IMOLE HOUSE OSOGBO tomorrow… see you soon ACCORDINGLY 😇 cc @AAdeleke_01,” Davido posted.

His announcement comes just weeks after Governor Adeleke adopted the Accord Party as his new political platform ahead of the 2026 Osun governorship election.

Governor Adeleke formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party on December 9, 2025, during an event held at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Osogbo, attended by party leaders at both national and state levels.

At the time, the governor explained that his decision was driven by the leadership crisis within the PDP at the national level, disclosing that he joined the Accord Party on November 6 following consultations with stakeholders and opinion leaders to strengthen his re-election bid.

Davido had earlier reacted to his uncle’s defection by reposting the announcement online with the brief caption, “Jeje…”.
