- Music heavyweight, Davdo has replied to a netizen who advised him to concentrate on making music and shun politics.
- In response to the post, Davido categorically told the X user that he would be easily elected into any position in Nigeria if a free and fair election was conducted.
Nigerian music star, Davido, has responded to a fan’s advice to focus solely on his music career and avoid politics.
This comes after Davido’s recent criticism of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on social media, where he alleged election malpractice.
Davido’s involvement in the Edo State election had sparked curiosity, given his non-indigenous roots. However, he clarified his connection to the state through his late mother, Imade Veronica Adeleke, who hailed from Edo.
Despite this, a fan identified as @Riddwane, advised Davido to prioritize music over politics, stating, “He should face his music… I like his songs. Politics is not his turf.”
Davido responded confidently, “Free and fair election in Nigeria… I would be easily elected…. YOU SEF KNOW,”

In previous news, Davido labelled the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the most dangerous institution in Nigeria.
Davido made the allegation in a series of posts on his X handle on Saturday amid the ongoing gubernatorial election in Edo State.
“The most dangerous institution in Nigeria @inecnigeria,” he wrote.
The Afrobeat singer charged Edo residents to defend their votes and follow the result from the polling units up until the state collation centre.
According to him, INEC will not transmit results electronically even after making promises.
“We already know that @inecnigeria will not transmit results electronically so everyone should be ready to follow the vote/result from the polling unit up until the state collation centre.
“Winning is one thing. Being declared a winner is another thing! …. From 7pm make una go Dey mount collation center !! #EdoDecide2024.”
