The singer made his position known via his Instagram story, where he warned against any attempt to manipulate the outcome of the August 15, 2026 election. He stated that he would not be a passive observer, but would be physically present during the voting process.
In his words, “On August 15, anybody who tries to rig go collect in the highest order. I will be in the field to defend our votes. Keke must ke if need be!!! @aadeleke_01, at your back, sir!”
His statement also included a show of support for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is seeking a second term in office under the Accord Party platform. The endorsement further reinforces Davido’s longstanding public alignment with his uncle’s political career in Osun State.
To underscore his concerns about electoral malpractice, Davido also shared a video clip featuring former resident electoral commissioner Nnenna Otti, in which she spoke about issues related to election fraud. He used the footage as part of his broader message warning against attempts to compromise the electoral process.
Beyond social media commentary, the singer has already taken a formal role within the political campaign structure. Earlier in April, shortly after aligning with the Accord Party, he was appointed as head of youth mobilisation for the party’s campaign council—a position that places him in a visible advocacy role ahead of the election season.
While celebrity involvement in Nigerian politics is not new, Davido’s increasingly direct tone ahead of the Osun governorship race highlights how entertainment figures continue to intersect with electoral mobilisation and public political discourse in the state.
