Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has drawn attention online after folding song titles from his nephew Davido's new album, Oriade, into a campaign message ahead of the state's August 15 governorship election.

In a post on X, Adeleke worked several track names from the album into a single message rallying support for his re-election bid, writing:

"ON THE ROAD again for the Imole ReElection 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 this last 3 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 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 Oh…. YAYA!"

The post drew a wave of positive reactions, with many fans praising the governor for the wordplay.

Adeleke and Davido have maintained a close public relationship for years, extending well beyond family ties. 

During the 2022 Osun governorship race, Davido was one of Adeleke's most visible campaigners, actively mobilising support on his behalf. The two are also regularly seen together at family functions and public events.
