Afrobeats superstar Davido has stepped away from his music career to actively support the re-election campaign of his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, in Osun State, Peak Newspaper reports
The award-winning singer is spearheading a youth-driven mobilization effort aimed at boosting grassroots support for the incumbent governor ahead of the upcoming elections. Sources within the campaign say Davido’s involvement is focused on engaging young voters through outreach programs, social media influence, and public appearances.
Davido, a vocal supporter of his uncle, has previously played a visible role in political activities in Osun State, particularly during Adeleke’s successful gubernatorial bid. His latest move signals a deeper commitment to political advocacy, as he temporarily pauses music-related engagements to concentrate on the campaign.
Governor Adeleke, who assumed office in 2022, is seeking a second term amid a competitive political landscape. Analysts suggest that Davido’s popularity among Nigerian youths could significantly impact voter turnout and campaign visibility.
Neither Davido nor the Adeleke campaign team has officially disclosed how long the music break will last, but insiders indicate it may extend through the peak of the election period.
The development highlights the growing intersection between entertainment and politics in Nigeria, where influential celebrities increasingly play strategic roles in shaping public opinion.
