Afrobeats superstar Davido has openly celebrated the political fortunes of his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) finalised the declaration of the 2026 governorship election results. In the early hours of Sunday, 16 August 2026, Davido shared an Instagram video of a call with the governor, both visibly elated as collation continued.
Jubilant Scenes as Results Trickle In
A separate clip, posted by entertainment page @goldmynetv, showed Governor Adeleke dancing with his entourage and offering prayers while awaiting INEC's formal announcement. The governor, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate seeking re-election, held a significant lead over his closest rival from the All Progressives Congress (APC) after results from 15 local government areas were tallied.
Davido, a consistent supporter of his uncle throughout the campaign, used the posts to blend family pride with political endorsement. The video call captured the pair in high spirits, reflecting confidence in the ongoing count.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Davido's billionaire father, Deji Adeleke, was also spotted at a polling unit, where his humble appearance drew reactions from voters and online observers. The election, tagged #OsunDecides2026, has drawn significant attention as Adeleke seeks a second term against APC opposition.
As INEC's declaration nears, the celebratory mood among Adeleke's supporters suggests confidence in the outcome, though official results remain pending. The final announcement will determine whether the governor secures another term in office.
