Afrobeats singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has announced his appointment as head of youth mobilisation for Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election campaign in Osun State. 

The singer announced this in a post on X on Tuesday, stating that he had been appointed to lead youth-focused mobilisation efforts. 

“I have been appointed by the Governor of Osun state, @AAdeleke_01 and flag bearer of the Accord Party as head youth mobilisation of the campaign council! We look forward to a smooth campaign and your re-election, Your Excellency! 4+4,” he said.

Davido has backed his uncle, Mr Adeleke, for years, actively supporting him during previous campaigns and public engagements.

His appointment comes amid preparations for political activities ahead of the August 8 governorship elections.

Beyond campaign support, Davido has also held roles within the state’s structure. 

In 2025, he was appointed chairman of the Osun Sports Trust Fund, which aims to boost investment in sports development.
