Afrobeats star Davido throws his support behind human rights lawyer Pelumi Olajengbesi ahead of the 2027 House of Representatives election. Reports say Davido endorses him through social media, describing Olajengbesi as his “other project” and a “100% winning ticket” for politics in Osun state.
The outlets tie the endorsement to Olajengbesi’s recent political involvement in Osun. Nigerian Eye and The Punch report that Olajengbesi previously served as a convener of the Imole Grassroots Mobilisation Network and as campaign spokesman for Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election, which took place on August 15, 2026. After that election, Davido is also reported to have publicly thanked Olajengbesi.
Sources further describe Olajengbesi’s electoral plan: he is seeking the Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency seat under the Accord Party. Nigerian Eye adds that he would face the incumbent, Wole Oke of the All Progressives Congress, who has held the seat for 24 years. Differences between outlets are mainly in wording and detail, but all report the same endorsement and candidacy.
