Governor Adeleke Turns Davido’s Oriade Album Into Creative Re-Election Campaign Ahead of Osun Poll
Governor Ademola Adeleke has generated buzz on social media after creatively weaving titles from Davido’s newly released Oriade album into a campaign message promoting his re-election bid ahead of the August 15 Osun State governorship election.
The governor’s playful approach quickly caught the attention of fans, with many praising the originality of the message and its connection to one of Nigeria’s biggest music releases.
Adeleke Blends Davido’s Album Into Campaign Message
In a post shared on X, Adeleke referenced several tracks from Oriade while reflecting on his time in office and encouraging residents to support his second-term ambition.
The governor described the album as the soundtrack to his campaign journey, using multiple song titles to reinforce his political message.
Part of his post read:
“ON THE ROAD again for the Imole Re-Election Campaign, and I’m listening to ORIADE, the new album by my nephew @davido, which is CONSTANTLY reminding me of the AMAZING GRACE that has been MY LIGHT and GUIDE these last three and a half years that I have been governor of Osun State.
“They say my call for peace is weak, but I KNOW WHO I BE. TELL EVERYBODY: Imole is winning his re-election on August 15. If you ask JULIE or anyone in Osun State, they will tell you there is no vacancy in Abeere. Those perpetuating violence against our people are ALREADY FALLING. B4 B4 it was ZANZIBAR for tourism. Now YAYA and everyone is saying GIMMIE DAT TING in Osun.”
The post cleverly incorporated several track titles from the album into a single campaign narrative, making it stand out among political messages circulating online.
Fans Praise the Governor’s Creative Approach
The campaign post quickly attracted reactions from supporters and music lovers, many of whom applauded Adeleke for finding an entertaining way to connect politics with popular culture.
Several users described the message as witty and refreshing, noting how naturally the album titles blended into the governor’s appeal for votes ahead of the election.
The creative crossover between politics and entertainment also sparked conversations across social media, with many praising the governor’s sense of humour and marketing style.
Adeleke and Davido’s Close Family Bond
Governor Adeleke and Afrobeats superstar Davido have maintained a strong public relationship for years, both as family members and supporters of each other’s careers.
During the 2022 Osun State governorship election, Davido actively campaigned for his uncle, attending rallies, mobilising supporters and using his social media platforms to promote Adeleke’s candidacy.
Since then, the duo have continued to appear together at family celebrations, public events and official functions, often showcasing their close relationship.
With the governorship election drawing closer, Adeleke’s latest campaign strategy has once again highlighted the intersection of entertainment and politics, while giving additional visibility to Davido’s newly released Oriade album.
