The Osun State governorship election has sparked significant reactions, particularly from popular Afrobeats artist Davido, who took to social media to comment on early results showing a strong performance by the Accord Party, led by incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke. On August 15, 2026, results from the polling unit of former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola in Okuku revealed that the Accord Party received 125 votes, while the All Progressives Congress (APC) garnered 85 votes.

Davido's reaction came shortly after the results were shared online. He responded to a supporter’s post by addressing Oyinlola directly, stating that the former governor would need to return a car given to him by Adeleke. This comment references an ongoing dispute regarding the vehicle, which Oyinlola claims is a statutory entitlement due to former governors under Osun State law, rather than a personal gift from Adeleke.

The car controversy has added a layer of drama to the election narrative, as Oyinlola insists that he is owed additional vehicles under state regulations. Davido's remark, "He needs to return our car," has since generated a flurry of reactions from fans and observers online, with many weighing in on the political implications of the election results.

As the results continue to be collated across the state, reactions to Davido's comments have varied widely. Some supporters expressed their agreement with the Afrobeats star, while others criticized Oyinlola's stance regarding the vehicle. One user remarked, "Yes very important, na ingrate him be," while another praised Adeleke’s governance, stating, "I knew that he will win. I already congratulated him since before now."

In addition to Davido's social media activity, other notable figures were also present at the polls. Deji Adeleke, Davido's father and a billionaire businessman, was seen casting his vote, drawing attention for his humble appearance among voters. His participation has been positively received, with many praising his commitment to civic duty.

As the day unfolds, the tension surrounding the election continues to build, with the final results eagerly anticipated by both parties and their supporters. The outcome at Oyinlola's polling unit serves as a significant indicator of the shifting political landscape in Osun State, as the youth and various stakeholders express their voices through the ballot box.
