Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has declared that he would be difficult to defeat in any free and fair election in Nigeria if he ever decided to contest for political office.
The award-winning singer, however, stressed that he has no immediate plans to venture into politics, saying the country’s electoral process lacks the transparency needed for credible elections.
Davido made the remarks during a livestream with popular content creator Carter Efe, where he was asked whether he would consider running for public office, including the governorship of a state.
Responding, the singer said he would rather concentrate on his music career than participate in an electoral process he believes is not transparent.
According to him, he would only consider contesting for office when Nigeria’s elections become free, fair and credible.
Expressing confidence in his popularity, Davido said
“Nobody can beat me in any election. In a free and fair election, I can even win the presidential election in Nigeria,” he said.
The music star also criticised what he described as flaws in the country’s electoral system, alleging that election results are often manipulated.
Davido further disclosed that he would be paying close attention to the forthcoming Osun State governorship election, saying he is eager to see how the electoral process unfolds.
Although the Adeleke family has a strong political background, the singer maintained that his focus remains on entertainment until significant improvements are made to Nigeria’s electoral system.
The comments have since generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians debating his confidence and views on the nation’s democratic process.
