Afrobeats singer Davido has ridiculed the All Progressives Congress (APC) following early results from the Osun State governorship election, in which his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, is leading. The "Osun no be Edo" slogan, a twist on the popular "Eid no be Edo" phrase, was used by the star to mock the party. Davido campaigned for Adeleke during the poll and took to social media as counts and tallies were completed.
He claimed that former Osun governor, Bisi Akande, lost his constituency to the APC and that the party had scattered. "Their group chat don scatter! Baba Akande lost his ward. Gov Adeleke is cruising to victory. Shame APC. Osun no be Edo!" Davido raged. He also warned of possible election meddling and pleaded with Osun residents to remain alert throughout the night, urging security personnel not to pull personnel out of polling places.
As of 5:51pm, results from 1,695 of 3,763 polling units had been uploaded to the INEC Result Viewing Portal. The Imole Campaign Council, representing Adeleke, alleged plans to declare the election inconclusive. Rep. Bamidele Salam, chairman of the council, encouraged observers to remain alert.
