Why I won’t apologise to Okpebholo — Davido

Davido, the Afrobeats singer, has stated he will not apologize to Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, following the latter's criticism of his uncle's social media post. The post displayed the alleged West African Examinations Council result of Okpebholo, which Davido claimed was merely informing people about their governor's academic record.

The controversy escalated after Okpebholo mocked Davido's uncle, Ademola Adeleke, during political activities ahead of the August 15 governorship election. Okpebholo questioned Adeleke's leadership style, prompting Davido to share the alleged WAEC result on his Instagram Story. Despite calls for an apology, Davido defended his actions and accused Okpebholo of attacking his uncle in another state, questioning the Edo governor's understanding of electoral victory.
