Pop superstar Davido has thrown a direct challenge at President Bola Tinubu, urging him to rein in his political allies as chaos threatens to engulf the Osun State election results. The singer, known for his unfiltered takes, took to his X handle on Saturday to accuse the All Progressives Congress (APC) of dispatching hired thugs to sabotage the democratic process.
The flashpoint came at GOF junction in Osogbo, the state capital, where Davido alleges that APC loyalists stormed the area to violently disrupt the collation of results from Wards 4 and 5. His outburst paints a grim picture of a party desperate to overturn a looming defeat.
“Mr President, call your people to order,” Davido wrote, his words sharp and unyielding. “Osun APC thugs have invaded GOF junction, Osogbo to disrupt Ward 4 and 5 results. They have seen defeat and they are now trying to destroy ballot papers and boxes. Osogbo people will resist them.”
The singer’s warning did not stop there. He predicted an escalation, saying the attackers “want to start attacking everywhere,” and rallied the people of Osun to stand their ground and protect their votes. His call to action, “Osun people, mount your votes,” has already sparked a wave of reactions online, with supporters and critics alike weighing in on the volatile situation.
As the nation watches the Osun election unfold, Davido’s intervention adds a fiery layer to an already tense atmosphere. Whether the President will heed the call remains to be seen, but the message is clear: the streets of Osogbo are not ready to back down.
