Imumolen made the remark, while responding to reports that Davido plans to collect his Accord Party membership card in Osun State, following Governor Ademola Adeleke’s declaration that he intends to seek re-election on the party’s platform.

The Accord chairman said the party was open to new members but stressed that structures recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must be respected.

According to him, Governor Adeleke currently holds what he termed a “disputed ticket” issued by a factional leadership of the party.

“Davido is welcome in Accord, but he must align with the party’s authentic leadership unlike Governor Adeleke, who holds a disputed ticket from a factional leadership,” Imumolen said.

Governor Adeleke recently confirmed that he joined the Accord Party after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing unresolved leadership issues within the PDP at the national level.

The development has triggered fresh alignment and contestation within the Accord Party ahead of the 2026 Osun governorship election.

The 2026 Grammy ceremony is set to take place on February 1, 2026. Omah Lay expressed his excitement over the recognition but emphasized that accolades don’t hold much personal value for him. Instead, the singer redirected his enthusiasm towards his collaborator, Davido, who he credits as one of his most loyal supporters.

“I’m excited about this Grammy nomination, but I don’t give a concern about awards. Yeah, but I really want it for OBO!” Omah Lay wrote, referencing Davido by his popular moniker. “He is the realest friend I’ve had in a while, and he stood by me during my hardest times.”

Despite the recognition, Omah Lay made it clear that the real focus for him is Davido’s long-awaited Grammy win. The Nigerian superstar, who has earned four prior nominations, including two in the Best African Music Performance category since its introduction in 2023, has yet to secure a win at the award.
