Afrobeats star Davido has called on Osun State residents to maintain peace ahead of the upcoming governorship election, while also warning an unnamed politician from Imo State against interfering in the state’s electoral process
The singer made the appeal on Tuesday while addressing supporters in his role as head of the youth campaign mobilisation team for Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is seeking re-election.
Describing the governor, who is also his uncle, as one of the state’s finest leaders, Davido encouraged eligible voters to participate in the election peacefully and without fear.
“I speak to you today not just as Davido, but as one of your own, as a voice for our people.”
Acknowledging the tense atmosphere surrounding the poll, the award-winning artiste urged supporters to remain calm, expressing confidence that Governor Adeleke would emerge victorious once again.
“I understand the tension and emotions surrounding this election, but I urge everyone to remain calm. Very important. We’ve been calm for how long? Don’t forget we’ve won this thing twice before.
“No shaking. We’ve won it twice before, and we’re going to win it again for the third time, by the grace of God. Let us reject violence. I’ll say it again.”
