“This Get Out to Vote Concert is for everyone in Osun State, Accord, ADC, APC, LP, PDP, no political divide, just pure Osun energy!”

The event will take place at the Technical Field in Osogbo on Friday, April 24, with free entry for all.

Adeleke urged for full participation, saying: “Come out, groove, and let your voice count!”

The announcement generated buzz online, as political campaigns intensified ahead of the August 8, 2026, governorship election.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian music star Davido confirmed his new appointment as the Head of Youth Mobilisation for the campaign council supporting the re-election bid of his uncle, Osun state Governor Ademola Adeleke.

The singer shared the news of his political role shortly after initial reports began circulating regarding his active involvement in the upcoming gubernatorial campaign.

This current campaign role marks another official position for the afrobeats singer, as the Osun state government previously announced his appointment as the Chairman of the newly established Osun Sports Trust Fund in 2025.

Over the years, Davido has been actively involved in the general politics of Nigeria with a specific focus on his state of origin, Osun state.

During the previous governorship campaign in the state, the award-winning hitmaker actively campaigned for his uncle, subsequently celebrating publicly on the internet when Ademola Adeleke emerged victorious.

The 5ive crooner's public support remained consistent in 2024 when he celebrated the governor over the successful completion of a building project situated within the state.
