Help prevent violence in Osun election, Davido appeals to Trump

Afrobeats artist Davido has urged U.S. President Donald Trump to pay attention to the upcoming Osun State gubernatorial election in Nigeria, citing concerns about potential violence and a disruption of the democratic process. In a post on social media platform X, Davido called for international monitoring of the election and urged Nigerian authorities to protect voters and ensure their votes are respected.

He emphasized that Osun residents should be able to exercise their right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear. The singer appealed to both the United States and the international community to closely watch the August 15 election and ensure that every voter is protected and every vote is respected. Davido's appeal comes after he previously threatened to seek Trump's intervention if any issues arose during the election.

The Osun governorship race is expected to have a strong turnout, with Adeleke and other candidates competing for the position.
