OSUN ELECTION: Edo Govt Confronts Davido over Alleged Threat to Report to Trump 

Edo State Government has told music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, to make music to win a Grammy award instead of threatening to write to President Donald Trump about the Osun State governorship election. It described the threat as “arrant nonsense”.

Addressing reporters in Benin City, the Edo Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Prince Kassim Afegbua, said it was wrong to criticise Governor Monday Okpebholo’s decision to campaign for the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate.

Afegbua said Davido has opted to become a politician rather than go into the studio to record award-winning songs.

He reminded Davido that Nigerians who patronise his music career are not members of the Accord Party. NigerianEnergy Sector

The Edo Information Commissioner said the supposed results of Governor Okpebholo shared on the Internet were fake.

He said, “The result posted online is fake. I have seen the Governor’s authentic result, which shows he holds a Master’s degree. Adeleke got F9 in his result. There is no harm in having a dancer as a Governor. Is he not a dancer? We are looking for votes from Osun. We are telling them to vote for serious-minded people.

“We need to show solidarity to party members and party candidate. We are happy to see the APC candidate win on Saturday. Davido, who should be in the studio to record good music, has become a politician. It was arrant nonsense to threaten to write Trump. You can imagine what people will do when it comes to democracy. The fact is that Adeleke is a dancer. Governance is serious business.”
