  "summary": "The Edo State Government has criticized Davido for calling for Donald Trump's intervention in the Osun election. According to Punch Nigeria, the government urged Davido to focus on music instead of politics.\n\nDavido had raised an alarm over an alleged plot to arrest members of the Accord Party ahead of the Osun governorship election. He claimed that the party, on whose platform his uncle and incumbent Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, is seeking re-election, was heading for victory.\n\nThere have been allegations of violence and intimidation involving political supporters in Osun State, with rival parties trading accusations over the tense political atmosphere. Adeleke had also alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress was using federal institutions to intimidate his supporters ahead of the poll, as per Punch.",
