Renowned Afrobeats artist Davido has warned Ebonyi State Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Resident Electoral Commissioner Pauline Ugonyeka that her efforts to oversee the Osun State governorship election will be unsuccessful. The statement was made through Davido's verified X account on Friday. Notably, Davido had previously questioned Ugonyeka's presence in Osun State prior to the upcoming elections.
Ugonyeka reportedly arrived in Osun ahead of the governorship election, despite not being assigned to that particular state. In response to her continued stay, Davido wrote, "Mrs Pauline Ugonyeka, I heard you’re still in Osun, your mission tomorrow will fail as the INEC REC. Osun people will stand by their votes." The Osun State governorship election is set to take place on August 15, 2026, and will see incumbent governor Ademola Adeleke, Davido's uncle, contesting the position against other candidates from the All Progressives Congress, African Democratic Congress, ADC, and other political parties.
