Davido Refuses to Apologise Over Clash With Edo State Governor, Makes Bold Claims

• Davido addressed his public clash with the Edo State governor during the Osun State election campaign
• The singer insisted he did nothing wrong and accused the governor of crossing state lines to interfere in the election
• Davido also made a pointed claim about the state of infrastructure in Edo State while aiming for the governor's legitimacy

Davido has broken his silence on his very public spat with the Edo State governor, making it clear he has no regrets and no plans to back down.

In an interview posted on Tuesday, 18 August 2026, the singer was asked directly about the confrontation that unfolded weeks earlier during the Osun State election. His response was unapologetic.

According to Davido, he did absolutely nothing wrong. He said his only offence was showing the people of Edo State their governor's result, describing how the governor left his state to interfere in Osun affairs and turn his attention to Davido's uncle.

The singer did not stop there. Davido claimed the road leading to the Edo State Government House is unpaved, using it as evidence of the governor's performance record. He went further, questioning the legitimacy of the governor's time in office by suggesting he was "selected, not elected."

Davido stated plainly that the governor "does not know what election means" and said he would be watching closely until the governor's tenure ends.
