Afrobeats singer Davido claimed that Senate President Godswill Akpabio and business magnate Aliko Dangote contacted him to delete a tweet he made during the Osun State governorship election. Davido spoke on News Central Television after urging various stakeholders to address the election's conduct. He had openly backed his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, and alleged massive amounts of cash were brought into the state to sway the outcome.
According to Davido, his campaign did not spend any money on election day despite claims of widespread vote-buying. He urged his uncle to serve as an example to other governors, emphasizing his uncle's victory against significant odds. Davido's father, Adedeji Adeleke, also supported his uncle throughout the election. The singer had previously criticized the APC, INEC, and the Federal Government on social media during the election.
Adeleke won the election with 511,067 votes, while the APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, received 444,815 votes.
