Afrobeats artist Davido Adeleke, has started a group of 43 young people to help his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, run for re–election in the Osun State governorship election on August 15.
On Tuesday, during a small event in Ede, Davido also said he would take a two-month break from making music to focus on the campaign.
The group, called the Imole Youth Campaign Mobilisation Team, is led by Davido himself.
There are coordinators in each of the three senatorial districts, nine federal areas, all 30 local government areas, and the Modakeke Area Office to help organize efforts at the local level.
Before announcing the team, Davido asked the members to go door to door and share the governor‘s successes with people.
“I have put my musical career on hold for two months to come and work for my uncle. Not only because he is my uncle, but because he is doing a good job, and he has major things to do—the job is not done.
“We are all here to support him to win the election with our influence. This is one of the most important committees because it has to do with youth.
“Let’s do door-to-door mobilisation across all local governments, showcasing what the governor has done and what he plans to do. Let’s engage people in our communities and connect them with the governor’s work,” he said.
According to a statement by the campaign team, the Imole Campaign Council Youth Committee has Adeshina Kayode Olododo as Vice Chairman and Gbenga Idowu as , alongside coordinators across federal constituencies.
The electorate in Osun State is expected to go to the polls on August 15 to elect a governor, with three major contenders in the race.
Governor Ademola Adeleke, seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party, faces challenges from Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress and Dr Najeem Salaam of the African Democratic Congress.
