Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has reacted after his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, was appointed to coordinate President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign in Osun State.

The appointment has drawn attention because Governor Adeleke belongs to the Accord Party, rather than the APC, which is backing Tinubu’s re-election bid.

Following the announcement, Davido shared a video of the governor dancing and singing on his Instagram Story.

The appointment formed part of a revised APC Presidential Campaign Council list featuring political figures from different parties, including Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike and Anambra state governor Chukwuma Soludo.

But Davido’s earlier comments about the ruling party have added another dimension to the story.

“I can never support APC in my life!!!” the singer wrote.

He also stated that he had no preferred presidential candidate for the 2027 general election and would not back the ruling party.
