Davido calls out APC ahead of Osun election
Legit.ng had reported that Afrobeats superstar Davido celebrated a major career milestone after selling out Crystal Palace in London. Still, his victory came against the backdrop of heightened political attention in his home state of Osun.
The singer marked the achievement on social media the night before the Osun governorship election, expressing excitement over the packed venue. However, his celebration soon took a political turn as he alleged that signals were being sent “from above,” apparently referring to attempts to influence or forcibly determine the outcome of the election.
