Taking to his official X account to confirm the development, the musician explained his new position while expressing his enthusiasm about taking on the responsibility to ensure a smooth campaign process.
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.
