In the footage, the governor appeared in traditional attire, strumming an acoustic guitar and singing, while B-Red sat nearby, drumming and moving to the rhythm.
Studio equipment was visible in the background, giving the setting a casual, personal feel.
Viewers who commented on the video noted that Adeleke appeared completely at ease, reinforcing the image of a man equally comfortable in government and in entertainment.
Governor Ademola Adeleke’s election victory
The video arrived on the heels of a significant political milestone. INEC announced on August 16 that Ademola Adeleke, running on the Accord Party platform, polled 511,067 votes to beat All Progressives Congress candidate Bola Oyebamiji, who secured 444,815 votes.
Adeleke won in 19 of Osun’s 30 local government areas in the August 15 poll, securing a second term as governor.
The governor has long carried the “dancing Governor” tag, a nickname rooted in his well-documented love of music and dancing performance that has followed him throughout his political career.
The studio session with Davido’s cousin, B-Red, appeared to many as a natural extension of that side of him, with social media users pointing out his guitar skills as yet another layer to his public persona.
