Afrobeats musician David Adeleke, better known by his stage name as Davido, has urged the international community and US President Donald Trump to keep a close eye on the upcoming Osun State governorship election.
Concerned about the potential for conflict, violence, and intimidation during the election, Davido urged the appropriate authorities to safeguard voters and make sure the democratic process is not interfered with.
In a statement to Trump, the singer made the request, which he posted on his X page.
In his appeal, he wrote, “President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election.
“There are growing concerns about tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process. Osun people deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear.
“I appeal to the United States and the international community to pay close attention to the election and encourage all relevant authorities to ensure that every voter is protected and every vote is respected.
“We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election.”
Ultimately, our collective goal is to ensure a free, fair, and transparent election process. We must prioritize peace and unity, as no political ambition is worth the loss of lives or the disruption of our communities. Let us work together to uphold democracy and ensure that the will of the people prevails without bloodshed or violence.
