The governor had formally announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party on December 9, 2025, during a ceremony held at the Banquet Hall of the Government House, Osogbo, attended by national and state leaders of the party.

Explaining his decision at the time, Governor Adeleke cited the lingering leadership crisis within the PDP at the national level, disclosing that he joined the Accord Party on November 6 after wide consultations with stakeholders and opinion leaders to pursue his re-election bid.

Following his uncle’s defection, Davido had earlier reacted on social media by reposting the announcement with the caption, “Jeje…”, a move now seen as a prelude to his own formal entry into the party.
