Mobilizing the Electorate Through Entertainment

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has announced a free concert scheduled for this Friday at the Technical Field in Osogbo to energize the local residency. The event is framed as a non-partisan "Get Out to Vote" initiative aimed at encouraging civic participation ahead of the upcoming gubernatorial election. According to Governor Adeleke, the gathering is designed to be inclusive of all political affiliations, including members of the APC, PDP, LP, and other parties. The governor emphasized that the primary goal is to harness "pure Osun energy" and ensure that every voice in the state counts during the electoral process.

A Star Studded Lineup for Osun Residents

The concert features a high profile roster of performers headlined by the governor’s son, Adebayo Adeleke, known professionally as B-Red. Joining him on stage will be several prominent figures in the Nigerian music industry, including Peruzzi, CDQ, Shina Peters, and May D. The lineup also highlights rising talent from within Osun State, showcasing the administration's focus on local cultural promotion. According to the governor’s announcement on Wednesday, the event is intended to bring the "vibes home" while providing a free platform for community engagement and celebration.

Strategic Political Appointments for Youth Engagement

This entertainment drive follows the strategic appointment of David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, as the Head of Youth Mobilisation for the 2026 campaign. Davido, who is the governor’s nephew, has been a consistent public supporter of the administration and previously served as the Chairman of the Osun Sports Trust Fund in 2025. According to the musician, his new role involves ensuring a smooth campaign process and leveraging his influence to connect with the younger demographic.
