  "summary": "Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad has sparked controversy on social media after using Tyla's Grammy win to mock Afrobeats star Davido over the August 15 Osun State governorship election. The clash began when Davido, whose uncle is running for governor, responded to a post by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga about the lifting of a court order restricting Osun State Government accounts. Ahmad responded by saying he had bookmarked Davido's post, and Davido fired back, alleging that election results could be manipulated. The argument then shifted to music, with Ahmad posting an image of a Grammy Award and accusing Davido of predicting electoral malpractice. Davido replied that success should not be measured solely by awards.",
