The Afrobeats star, Davido, has announced his formal entry into politics, declaring his intention to join the Accord Party (AP).
In a post on his X page on Tuesday, the ‘With You’ hitmaker shared plans to travel to Osun state on Wednesday to officially collect his party 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,” he wrote.
This development follows two weeks after Ademola Adeleke, the singer’s uncle and the governor of Osun, defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party.
Adeleke has also been elected as the party’s candidate for the 2026 gubernatorial election in the state.
Born David Adeleke, Davido gained fame in 2012 with the release of ‘Dami Duro,’ the second single from his debut album ‘Omo Baba Olowo’.
He has since established himself as one of Africa’s leading artistes and a key member of the Afrobeats ‘Big Three’.
Following his debut album, he has released other projects, including ‘A Good Time’ (2019), ‘A Better Time‘ (2020), and ‘Timeless’ (2023).
The singer released ‘5ive’, his fourth studio album, in April.
Davido is also the founder of DMW, a record label established in April 2016, which has become a platform for nurturing a wide range of musical talent.
