Davido has broken his silence on his public spat with the Edo State governor, making it clear he has no regrets and no plans to back down. In an interview posted on Tuesday, 18 August 2026, the singer was asked directly about the confrontation that unfolded weeks earlier during the Osun State election. His response was unapologetic.
Davido's Unapologetic Stance
According to Davido, he did absolutely nothing wrong. He said his only offence was showing the people of Edo State their governor's result, describing how the governor left his state to interfere in Osun affairs and turn his attention to Davido's uncle.
"He came to Osun State to rig the election," Davido alleged, adding that the governor had accused his uncle of "dancing and doing nothing" in the state.
Sharp Words for the Edo Governor
The singer did not stop there. Davido claimed the road leading to the Edo State Government House is unpaved, using it as evidence of the governor's performance record. He went further, questioning the legitimacy of the governor's time in office by suggesting he was "selected, not elected."
Davido stated plainly that the governor "does not know what election means" and said he would be watching closely until the governor's tenure ends.
