Davido addresses clash with Edo governor
Legit.ng had reported that the public clash between Afrobeats star Davido and the Edo State governor came into focus during the Osun State election campaign, with the singer defending his actions and pushing back against criticism of his involvement in the political contest.
Davido maintained that he had done nothing wrong, arguing that the governor had crossed state lines to interfere in the Osun election.
The singer also took a swipe at the governor over the state of infrastructure in Edo, using the condition of the state to question the governor’s record and, pointedly, his standing to weigh in on affairs in Osun.
