Davido Appeals to Donald Trump Over Concerns About Osun Election
Nigerian Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has appealed to United States President Donald Trump and the international community over concerns surrounding the upcoming Osun State governorship election.
Davido raised the issue during a livestream hosted by comedian and content creator Carter Efe, according to reports by Nigerian media outlets.
The singer said he would seek international attention if he believed anything went wrong during the election. He specifically mentioned Donald Trump and called for international observers to pay attention to the electoral process.
The Osun governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026.
Davido has previously been outspoken about political and social issues in Nigeria. His latest comments have therefore attracted considerable attention online, particularly because of his decision to directly reference the American president.
The singer's comments come at a time when political parties and their supporters are preparing for the election.
Davido's intervention has generated discussions among Nigerians on social media, with some users debating the role celebrities should play in political matters and whether international attention can contribute to greater transparency during elections.
While the singer has expressed his concerns, the election itself remains the responsibility of Nigeria's electoral institutions and relevant authorities.
As the August 15 poll approaches, attention will remain on the preparations, security arrangements and conduct of the election.
