Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has announced his decision to formally align with the Accord Party, joining his uncle and Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on the platform.
The singer made this known on Tuesday via his verified X handle, where he disclosed plans to travel to Osogbo, the Osun State capital, to obtain his 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,” he wrote.
Davido’s declaration comes barely two weeks after Governor Adeleke officially adopted the Accord Party as his new political base ahead of the 2026 governorship election in the state.
The Osun governor had publicly announced his defection on December 9, 2025, at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Osogbo, with national and state leaders of the Accord Party in attendance.
Explaining his exit from the Peoples Democratic Party at the event, Adeleke cited the lingering leadership crisis within the PDP at the national level as the major reason for his decision.
“I joined the Accord Party more than a month ago, precisely November 6th, as a platform to seek re-election in 2026. This was after weeks of consultation and deliberations with stakeholders and opinion leaders,” Adeleke had said.
He added that the ideological leaning of the party resonated with the priorities of his administration.
“We opted for the Accord Party because its mission of welfarism aligns with our passionate focus on citizens and workers’ welfare,” he stated.
The governor had earlier confirmed his resignation from the PDP on December 1, revealing that his resignation letter was submitted on November 4, 2025, to party leaders in Sagba Abogunde, Ward 2, Ede North Local Government Area.
Davido had reacted to his uncle’s defection at the time by reposting the announcement on social media with the caption, “Jeje…”
The singer’s planned appearance at Imole House in Osogbo to collect his Accord Party membership card has since sparked widespread reactions online, with observers pointing to the increasing role of celebrity influence in Nigeria’s political space.
