Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has explained the reason for his interest in the ongoing governorship election in Edo State.
Naijaonpoint reports that the singer has been calling out the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on his X handle.
He claimed that there are malpractices in the ongoing guber poll.
Davido berated the electoral body for failing to conduct a free and fair election.
His concern raised questions as to why he is so interested in the election, considering that he is not from the state.
However, the singer explained that his late mother, Imade Veronica Adeleke was from Edo State.
Speaking further, he argued that apart from his mother being from the state, he should also be concerned about the polls as a Nigerian.
He recalled calling out INEC during the Osun State gubernatorial election when his uncle, the incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke, was contesting.
The singer wrote, “My mom is from Edo for those wondering why I’m interested in the election … but we as Nigerians should be concerned sha .. @inecnigeria shame on you I know how many times I had to come in here and rant before they got it right in Osun ! It’s really bad. God help us.”
Recall that Davido had earlier endorsed the PDP candidate, Asue Ighodalo, for the Edo gubernatorial election via his Instagram account.
