Davido's week of political callouts

The buzz around Davido stems from his active role in the August 2026 Osun state governorship re-election bid of his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Throughout the election period, Davido monitored INEC's IReV portal in real time, publicly flagging delays in result uploads from polling units and demanding greater transparency from electoral officials.

Beyond the results portal, Davido disclosed that Senate President Godswill Akpabio reached out to him asking that he take down his election-related posts.

The Grammy-nominated singer said he refused the requests, stating he would only act after the official results were announced.

Governor Adeleke was ultimately declared the winner of the election, receiving 511,067 votes against the APC candidate's 444,815.
