Davido's Role During the Osun Election
Davido had been one of the loudest voices in the campaign for his uncle, Governor Adeleke. He used his social media platforms extensively during the election period, making direct allegations against certain governors whom he accused of interfering with the process.

His comments stirred significant conversation online, with supporters praising his boldness while critics questioned whether his involvement helped or complicated matters for the Adeleke camp. The singer wasted no time after his uncle's victory was formalised, publicly calling out the INEC official he claimed showed visible displeasure at the certificate of return presentation.
