Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and his son, Afrobeats singer B-Red Adeleke, were captured on video making music together in what appeared to be a home studio on Monday, August 17, 2026, just one day after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Adeleke the winner of the governorship election.
The clip, which spread rapidly on X, showed the governor in traditional attire strumming an acoustic guitar and singing, while B-Red sat nearby drumming and moving to the rhythm. Studio equipment was visible in the background, giving the setting a casual, personal feel.
Election Victory and Musical Celebration
The video arrived on the heels of a significant political milestone. INEC announced on August 16 that Ademola Adeleke, running on the Accord Party platform, polled 511,067 votes to beat All Progressives Congress candidate Bola Oyebamiji, who secured 444,815 votes. Adeleke won in 19 of Osun's 30 local government areas in the August 15 poll, securing a second term as governor.
The governor has long carried the "dancing Governor" tag, a nickname rooted in his well-documented love of music and dancing performance that has followed him throughout his political career. The studio session with Davido's cousin, B-Red, appeared to many as a natural extension of that side of him, with social media users pointing out his guitar skills as yet another layer to his public persona.
Nigerians React on Social Media
The video spread rapidly on X, drawing a wave of warm and enthusiastic responses from Nigerians who found the moment genuinely entertaining.
