Grammy-nominated Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has announced plans to formally join the Accord Party, following the recent defection of his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Davido disclosed on Tuesday via his social media platforms that he would visit Osun State to collect his Accord Party membership card at the Government House in Osogbo.
“I will be live in Osun to pick up my @AccordPartyNG membership card at Imole House, Osogbo tomorrow,” the singer wrote, tagging the governor in the post.
The announcement comes amid significant political realignments in Osun State after Governor Adeleke officially dumped the PDP for the Accord Party.
The governor publicly declared his defection on December 9, 2025, at the Banquet Hall of the Osun State Government House, in the presence of national and state leaders of the party.
At the event, Adeleke also announced his intention to seek re-election for a second term on the platform of the Accord Party ahead of the 2026 governorship election.
According to the governor, he formally joined the Accord Party on November 6, following extensive consultations with political stakeholders and opinion leaders across the state.
He explained that the decision was driven by the need to pursue continuity in governance and complete ongoing development initiatives, noting that the party’s welfarist philosophy aligns with his administration’s focus on citizens’ welfare.
Adeleke assured party leaders and supporters that the Accord Party would provide a united front for inclusive governance and electoral success in 2026, describing it as the platform for continuity and victory.
The governor had earlier confirmed his resignation from the PDP on December 1, attributing his exit to prolonged leadership crises at the party’s national level.
He said his resignation letter was submitted to party officials in his ward in Ede North Local Government Area on November 4.
Davido had previously reacted to his uncle’s resignation from the PDP by reposting the announcement on social media with the caption, “Jeje…”.
