Afrobeats star David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has been named head of youth mobilisation for Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election campaign in Osun State. The announcement was made by Davido in a post on X on Tuesday, where he confirmed his role in leading youth-focused campaign activities. "I have been appointed by the Governor of Osun state, @AAdeleke_01 and flag bearer of the Accord Party as head youth mobilisation of the campaign council! We look forward to a smooth campaign and your re-election, Your Excellency! 4+4," he wrote. Davido has long supported his uncle, Governor Adeleke, participating in prior campaign events and public appearances. The appointment comes as political activities intensify ahead of the August 8 governorship election. In addition to his campaign role, Davido serves as chairman of the Osun Sports Trust Fund, a position he was appointed to in 2025 to help drive investment in sports development in the state.
Davido is now both a campaign mobiliser for his uncle and chairman of a state sports fund, raising questions about the blending of family ties and public roles. His appointment as youth mobiliser follows years of visible political support, not merit-based selection. Nigerians named in this arrangement include the governor, the singer, and beneficiaries of the sports fund, all operating within a framework that offers no transparency. The overlap between entertainment, kinship, and state appointments remains unchallenged in the official narrative.
