The singer's reaction came shortly after he arrived in Osun State on Wednesday, August 5, for the final phase of Adeleke's re-election campaign activities.

Rather than directly address the controversy, Davido focused on encouraging residents ahead of the political exercise.

In a message shared during a press conference in Osogbo, the music star appealed for peace and unity among the people.

“A message from my heart to the people of Osun. Stay peaceful. Stay united. Come out, vote freely and never allow anyone to intimidate you. Osun belongs to all of us,” he said.

He also reaffirmed his support for Governor Adeleke by adding the campaign slogan “4+4”.
