Osun 2026: Governor Adeleke Hits Campaign Trail with Star-Studded ‘Get Out to Vote’ Concert

In a high-octane blend of politics and entertainment, the Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has announced a massive free concert in the state capital to energize the electorate ahead of the 2026 governorship election.

The event, tagged the “Get Out to Vote Concert,” is scheduled to hold this Friday, April 24, at the Technical Field in Osogbo. The Governor, via his official X handle on Wednesday, revealed that the concert features a heavyweight lineup of Nigerian music stars, led by his son, B-Red, and several prominent industry figures including Peruzzi, CDQ, Shina Peters, May D, and Sinarambo. The lineup also includes viral sensations Peller and Kolu Wahala, alongside emerging musical talents from across the state.

This entertainment-driven mobilization strategy follows the Governor’s recent appointment of his nephew and global music icon, David Adeleke (Davido), as the Head of Youth Mobilisation for his re-election campaign. While the timing aligns with the intensifying political atmosphere ahead of the August 8, 2026 polls, Governor Adeleke maintained that the concert is a non-partisan celebration of “pure Osun energy.”

“This free concert is for each and every one of you,” the Governor stated. “Accord, ADC, APC, LP, PDP — there is no political divide. I am delighted to have my son and his friends bringing the vibes home to ensure every voice in Osun counts.”

Political observers in the “State of the Living Spring” view the move as a strategic attempt to capture the youth vote, leveraging the Adeleke family’s significant influence in the Nigerian music industry. As the state prepares for the Friday event, security agencies have been notified to ensure a hitch-free “groove” intended to set the tone for the upcoming electoral cycle.
