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.
