Davido could not hold back his emotions.
The Afrobeats superstar broke down in a video shared on X after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, re-elected as Osun State governor. Adeleke won the August 15, 2026 governorship election, with INEC making the declaration on Sunday.
For Davido, the moment appeared to be about more than politics. It was a family victory—and the emotion on camera made that clear.
“We Did It, Uncle”
Shortly after the result was announced, Davido shared a video of himself celebrating the outcome.
His caption was brief:
“WE DID IT UNC !!!”
The footage showed the singer visibly overwhelmed as he reacted to his uncle’s victory.
The post quickly attracted attention, with supporters celebrating alongside him and sending messages to both Davido and the governor.
Adeleke Secures Another Term
The result gives Ademola Adeleke another term as governor of Osun State.
The election was held on August 15, with the final results collated before INEC announced Adeleke as the winner on Sunday.
Davido had closely followed the election process before the declaration, including raising concerns online about delays in uploading results to INEC’s Result Viewing Portal during the collation process.
His emotional reaction after the final announcement therefore marked the end of an intensely watched election period for the Adeleke family.
Fans Flood Davido’s Comments
The singer’s followers responded with congratulations, jokes and political commentary.
Some celebrated the family connection, while others used the moment to discuss the wider political significance of the Osun election.
The reactions ranged from calls for Davido to host a giveaway to messages praising the Adeleke family’s political victory.
Others joked about whether the singer’s next major achievement should be a Grammy win.
A Family Moment That Went Viral
Davido’s reaction added a personal dimension to what was otherwise a major political development.
The singer has consistently shown public support for his uncle, and the latest video offered followers an unusually emotional glimpse of that relationship.
The election result may have been decided at the ballot box, but Davido’s reaction showed just how deeply the outcome affected the Adeleke family.
