I’ll Report to Trump If Osun Guber Poll Is Rigged – Davido Warns
Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has threatened to seek the intervention of United States President Donald Trump if the forthcoming Osun State governorship election is allegedly manipulated.
Davido made the remarks during a livestream hosted by social media personality Carter Efe, where he discussed his interest in politics and expressed concerns about the credibility and transparency of Nigeria’s electoral system.
The singer said he would consider active participation in politics only when the electoral process becomes more transparent, insisting that he could win an election conducted freely and fairly.
“Until there’s transparency, then I can go ahead with politics because nobody can beat me in any election. If there’s a free and fair election, let everybody come out to vote, I will win. But because of the system, there’s no transparency; they write the results,” he said.
Speaking on the re-election bid of his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Davido said he was closely monitoring developments ahead of the election.
“I want to see what they are going to do in Osun. We are waiting,” he said.
The singer further said he would draw Trump’s attention to the election if he believed the process had been compromised.
“I’ll tag Trump, I’ll call Trump, everybody. If they still don’t see anything, I’ll go in front of the White House and say, ‘Help us.’ They think it’s a joke,” Davido said.
He expressed confidence that such an appeal would attract the attention of the US President.
“Trump will just say, ‘I think there’s a Nigerian artiste sending me a message. Don’t worry, my message will be delivered,’” he added.
Davido concluded by appealing to stakeholders involved in the electoral process to allow the people of Osun State to freely determine their leaders.
“Leave Osun alone oo, leave it,” he said.
