Osun Election: Dangote, Akpabio called me to delete my tweet
Davido said the calls came after he accused election actors of vote-buying, and INEC declared Ademola Adeleke winner with 511,067 votes.
- Afrobeats star Davido claimed Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Aliko Dangote contacted him during the Osun governorship election, asking him to delete a tweet criticizing the electoral process.
- Davido actively campaigned for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, during the August 15 election, publicly confronting All Progressives Congress figures while alleging influential political machinery sought to manipulate the outcome.
- The singer grew suspicious when the Independent National Electoral Commission allegedly stopped uploading results: "When the election started, the results were being offloaded every thirty minutes in about 3,700 polling units. But when it got to 3,200, for about five hours, it stopped," he said.
- After polling 511,067 votes, Governor Adeleke defeated Bola Oyebamiji to secure a second term. Davido credited the victory to voters who resisted alleged ballot-snatching attempts, stating they were determined to defend their votes.
- Beyond the election results, Davido clashed with Kwara Governor AbdulRazaq and Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo over political accessibility and rhetoric, arguing that preventing electoral manipulation was vital to avoid "the blueprint for an election would now be violence and money.
