A viral video captures Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke breaking down in tears during a phone call with his nephew, music superstar Davido, shortly after securing victory in the Osun State governorship election. The emotional moment, shared across social media, shows Adeleke pleading with Davido to come to Osun State so he can hug him, while his son, Sina Rambo, stood beside him, patting his back and thanking Davido for his support.
Emotional Call After Election Victory
In the video, an overwhelmed Adeleke called Davido "baby" and sobbed as he spoke, visibly moved by the singer's support throughout the campaign. Davido had been a vocal supporter, actively tweeting and appealing to US President Donald Trump to ensure fairness at the polls. The governor's son, Sina Rambo, also expressed gratitude to Davido for the unwavering love and support shown to their family.
Davido, clearly moved by his uncle's emotional state, urged Adeleke to rest and recover after the physical and mental demands of the election campaign. The music star also promised to travel to Osun State on Monday to celebrate the victory in person, giving the governor something to look forward to.

Davido's Political Engagement Ahead of Election
Legit.ng had reported that Davido celebrated a major career milestone after selling out Crystal Palace in London, but his victory came against the backdrop of heightened political attention in his home state of Osun. The singer marked the achievement on social media the night before the Osun governorship election, expressing excitement over the packed venue. However, his celebration soon took a political turn as he alleged that signals were being sent "from above," apparently referring to attempts to influence or forcibly determine the outcome of the election.
Davido's call with his uncle highlights the deep personal connection between the two, as the governor's emotional response underscores the significance of the singer's support during the campaign. The promise of a Monday visit sets the stage for a celebratory reunion in Osun State.
