VIDEO: Why I won’t run for political office — Davido

Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has firmly stated his intention to never enter the realm of politics. He expressed this sentiment in an exclusive interview on News Central TV, reflecting on his extensive digital advocacy efforts during the recent Osun State gubernatorial election. Despite his involvement in the campaign, Davido dismissed any notion of political transition, citing the flaws in Nigeria's electoral system and the immense stress that accompanies it.

He emphasized that his passion and commitment lie in his music career, where he has already triumphed against formidable odds, including opponents with significant resources and political backing. Davido's stance is clear: he does not seek political office and will not be swayed by public pressure or social media expectations, particularly in relation to the 2027 presidential election.
