Nigeria music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has announced his decision to formally join the Accord Party, aligning politically with his uncle and Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke.
The singer disclosed this on his verified X handle on Tuesday, revealing plans to pick up his membership card.
He said he would be in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Wednesday to collect the 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,” Davido wrote.
His move comes barely two weeks after Governor Adeleke officially adopted the Accord Party as his new political platform ahead of the 2026 Osun governorship election.
Adeleke formally announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party on December 9, 2025, at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Osogbo, in the presence of national and state party leaders.
