  "account": "Afrobeats musician Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, recently stated on social media that U.S. President Donald Trump is also his president. This declaration came after he appealed to Trump and the international community to pay attention to the upcoming Osun State governorship election in Nigeria, which is set for August 15. Davido expressed concerns about potential violence, intimidation, and disruptions to the electoral process in the region. His tweet drew mixed reactions from X users, with some criticizing him and others supporting his stance. One user, JIMCRUZ, mocked Davido's tweet, asking if everything was okay. In response, Davido questioned why he couldn't tweet his president again. Another X user, ÌKÀ NATION, posted a picture of Davido and President Bola Tinubu together, raising the question of whose president he should be. Davido, who is a dual citizen of Nigeria and the United States, is the nephew of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and has openly supported his uncle's re-election bid. In his earlier appeal, Davido urged the United States and the international community to monitor the election closely and to encourage Nigerian authorities to ensure a peaceful, transparent, and free election.",
