Osun Election: Dangote, Akpabio called me to delete my tweet – Davido

Afrobeats singer Davido has alleged that Senate President Godswill Akpabio and businessman Aliko Dangote contacted him and asked him to delete a post he made during the recently concluded Osun State governorship election.

Speaking on News Central Television, Davido, who openly supported his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, also alleged that large sums of money were brought into Osun in an attempt to influence the election.

“If you saw the cash these people brought to the election that day, if they had gotten away with that election, Nigeria would have been finished by now because the blueprint of Nigerian election would have been violence and vote buying,” he said.

Davido further claimed that his camp did not spend money on election day, stating: “We didn’t spend a dime on the election day. Akpabio and Aliko Dangote called me to delete my tweet.”

He also praised Adeleke’s victory despite what he described as overwhelming opposition.

“My uncle should be an example to other governors. With all odds against us, my uncle still won,” Davido said.

Adeleke of the Accord Party won the election with 511,067 votes, defeating APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji, who polled 444,815 votes
