Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has publicly reacted to the political shift involving his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state.

The governor confirmed his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party at a ceremony in Osogbo on Tuesday, December 9.

He is expected to run for a second term in the 2026 Osun governorship election under the new platform.

The announcement immediately set the political space buzzing, especially among PDP loyalists who had long regarded Adeleke as one of the party’s strongest power holders in the South-West.

But while party faithful are still absorbing the development, Davido wasted no time making his position known.

Reacting shortly after the governor’s declaration, the singer confirmed where his loyalty stands.

Davido tweeted: "IMOLE 4+4 BEHIND YOU @AAdeleke_01 … WE MOVE ACCORDINGLY"

The governor’s defection comes on the heels of a widely discussed moment involving Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

A video from her coronation as Yeye Asiwaju of Ife Land showed the First Lady approaching Governor Adeleke while he was delivering his speech, urging him to wrap up.

The moment spread widely across social media, drawing sharp criticism from Nigerians who tagged her approach as unnecessary and disrespectful.
