Afrobeats star Davido has reacted after publicly calling on U.S. President Donald Trump and the international community to pay attention to the upcoming Osun State election.

Davido had expressed concerns over possible tension, intimidation and disruption of the electoral process, urging authorities to ensure that voters can exercise their rights peacefully.

Reacting afterwards, the singer wrote, “Dem don reach out ooo,” followed by a warning that he believed Nigerians would soon see how the situation unfolds.

Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has responded to comments made by Afrobeats star David “Davido” Adeleke, who called on an unnamed politician to give room for a free and fair governorship election in Osun State.

Davido’s uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke is seeking re-election. On Wednesday, August 5, Davido, held a press conference where he said he had heard rumours that a politician from Imo State planned to interfere in the election. Although the singer did not name anyone, he alleged that the politician intended to use the August 15 governorship election as a political battleground to prove a point.

He urged the individual to promote peace instead and allow the people of Osun State to freely choose their preferred candidate.

However, in a statement issued through his Senior Special Assistant on Electronic and Creative Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, the Governor urged the singer to direct his appeal to the electorate rather than to him. He also asked Davido to get ready to employ his Uncle as one of his dancers after he loses the August 15 state governorship election.

“The reality is that Governor Ademola Adeleke has, in the opinion of many, failed woefully in the discharge of his responsibilities. This is why many Osun voters are determined to vote him out in the August 15, 2026, governorship election. The signals emerging from across Osun State are clear. There is a growing indication that a significant number of voters have rejected the current administration and are prepared to embrace a new direction.

Rather than attempting to influence Governor Hope Uzodimma through emotional appeals, Davido should concentrate on helping his uncle prepare for life after office, as the people of Osun appear ready to cast their votes massively in favour of the APC candidate.

Perhaps, Davido should also begin making preparations to officially sign his uncle as a dancer in his musical band, because judging by the mood of the electorate, he may well be out of a political job after the August 15, 2026, governorship election.”

“Intro” from his 2019 album A Good Time remains one of Afrobeats’ greatest opening tracks. Blending soaring vocals, vibrant percussion, and heartfelt gratitude, it immediately sets the tone for the project with confidence, celebration, and ambition.

Years later, the song still stands as a fan favorite, praised for its uplifting energy and timeless appeal. Its simplicity, emotional depth, and memorable hook make it a benchmark for album intros, reinforcing Davido’s superstar status and cementing “Intro” as a modern Afrobeats classic.

Singer Davido has take a swipe at NURTW chairman, MC Oluomo, who over the weekend kicked against the Osun state government’s decision to ban operation of NURTW officials in the state.

Governor Ademola Adeleke suspended NURTW operations across motor parks in Osun, halted the collection of levies, and directed security agencies to arrest anyone operating in the name of the union following violent clashes between rival factions.

Speaking during the inauguration, NURTW President Musiliu Akinsanya (MC Oluomo), represented by his deputy Aliyu Issa Ore, rejected the state’s action, insisting the governor lacks the authority to suspend the union.

“Today, we heard that the state governor in Osun suspended the activities of our union, which they don’t have that power. Not a single state governor has power to suspend the activities of the union, because we are not under any state.”

Reacting to MC Oluomo’s comment, Davido who is a nephew to Governor Adeleke, wrote

‘’MC Oluomo wey no fit compose sentence dey talk..Kudosuuuu’’
