Afrobeats superstar Davido has appealed to the people of Osun State to shun violence and ensure a peaceful governorship election, while cautioning an unnamed political figure from Imo State against meddling in the state’s electoral process.
The singer made the remarks on Tuesday during a campaign event for Governor Ademola Adeleke, where he serves as the head of the governor’s youth campaign mobilisation team.
Davido praised Adeleke, his uncle, describing him as one of the best governors Osun State has produced, and urged residents to come out and vote without allowing tension or intimidation to influence them.
“I speak to you today not just as Davido, but as one of your own, as a voice for our people.”
He acknowledged that emotions were running high ahead of the election but stressed that violence should not be part of the democratic process. The music star also expressed confidence that Adeleke would secure another victory.
“I understand the tension and emotions surrounding this election, but I urge everyone to remain calm. Very important. We’ve been calm for how long? Don’t forget we’ve won this thing twice before.
“No shaking. We’ve won it twice before, and we’re going to win it again for the third time, by the grace of God. Let us reject violence. I’ll say it again.”
