Addressing supporters at the event, Davido explained that his decision was driven not just by family ties, but by conviction.
He stated:
“I have put my musical career on hold for two months to come and work for my uncle. Not only because he is my uncle but because I believe in what he is doing and the work ahead.”.
Davido was recently appointed chairman of the youth campaign committee, placing him at the forefront of efforts to mobilise young voters across the state.
Davido predicts Governor Adeleke's political future
Meanwhile, Davido hinted that the Adeleke family may turn their focus back to their business empire if Osun governor Ademola Adeleke loses his reelection in August.
The singer’s comments came as online discussions surged about the potential outcome of Governor Adeleke’s political journey under the Accord Party.
An X user Whemimor speculated about a possible future musical endorsement: “If e lose na Davido go compose song for APC during 2027 campaign.”
Reacting to Whemimor’s tweet, Davido playfully suggested: “Or we can just go back to our multi-billion dollar company …”
